Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 200g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 150 grams of rice (short grain)
  2. 1 cup of rice (short grain) = 200g
  3. 150g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.75 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.75 cups, based on rice (short grain) having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 200 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 150 grams: 150 ÷ 200 = 0.75 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh rice (short grain) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.75 cups × 200g/cup = 150g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
