|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDA FoodData Central — Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, unenriched (FDC 169756)FDC ID: 169756 | 185 g/1 source cup (exact volume unknown) | 185g | Direct | household cup; packing not specified | Adopted | 2026-08-05 |

A comparable source-cup value only scales a half-cup or tablespoon serving to one source cup. When a source does not state the cup's exact volume, we do not present it as a fixed-milliliter normalization.
Measurement notes
- This record is for uncooked long-grain white rice; cooked rice has absorbed water and must not use this conversion.
- Pour the dry grains loosely into the cup and level the top without shaking.
- Short-grain, jasmine, basmati, brown, and parboiled rice can settle differently.
Common mistakes
- Not measuring long-grain white rice (dry) the recommended way — poured loosely and leveled — is one of the most common sources of error.
- Assuming 1 cup of long-grain white rice (dry) equals 240g like water — it is actually 185g per US cup.
- Pressing the cup down instead of scooping it loosely.
