Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 200g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 28.22 ounces of rice (short grain)
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 28.22 × 28.35 = 800.02g
  3. 1 cup of rice (short grain) = 200g
  4. 800.02g ÷ 200g/cup = 4.00 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 an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 4.00 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.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 200 (grams per cup). For 28.22 ounces: 28.22 × 28.3495 = 800.02g, then 800.02 ÷ 200 = 4.00 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: 4.00 cups × 200g/cup = 800.02g, then 800.02g ÷ 28.3495 = 28.22 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
