How to measure brown rice (uncooked) accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh brown rice (uncooked) on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of brown rice (uncooked) weighs about 190 grams (6.7 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts brown rice (uncooked) and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Brown rice takes roughly twice as long as white rice and a bit more water; soaking it 30 minutes first shortens the cook time.
