Rice Weight: Dry vs Cooked (per 1 cup dry)

Rice roughly triples in weight as it absorbs water, which is why portioning it is confusing. This chart shows what 1 cup of dry rice becomes, plus the calories in a cooked cup.

Rice type1 cup dryCooked yield1 cup cookedCal / cooked cup
White (long grain)185 g~555 g158 g205
Brown190 g~490 g195 g248
Basmati180 g~540 g163 g210
Jasmine185 g~555 g158 g205
Wild160 g~485 g164 g166

Yields assume a standard water ratio. Actual cooked weight rises with more water and longer cooking.

Get Perfect Rice Portions Every Time

Rice is one of the trickiest foods to portion because it expands two to three times when cooked. Our AI rice scale helps you estimate the weight of both dry and cooked rice from a photo, so you can nail your portions whether you are cooking for one or feeding a family.

Dry vs Cooked: The 3x Rule

One cup of dry rice weighs about 185 grams and cooks up to roughly 555 grams, tripling in weight as it drinks up water. That is why a small scoop of dry rice fills a whole bowl once cooked. The chart above breaks down the yield for each variety so you can measure dry and predict the cooked result.

Essential for Calorie and Carb Tracking

Rice is a significant source of carbohydrates in many diets. A single cup of cooked white rice contains about 205 calories and 45 grams of carbs. Knowing the exact weight of your rice portion lets you calculate these values with much greater accuracy for your diet tracking.

Works with All Rice Varieties

Whether you are cooking white rice, brown rice, basmati, jasmine, wild rice, or sticky rice, our AI provides accurate weight estimates. Each variety has slightly different density, and the AI accounts for this when calculating the weight from your photo. Both dry and cooked rice measurements are supported.
