White Rice (Uncooked) Conversion: Cups to Grams

White rice is milled rice with the husk, bran, and germ removed, leaving only the starchy endosperm. It cooks to a fluffy, tender texture and has a neutral flavour that pairs with almost any dish. It is the staple grain for billions of people worldwide. Long-grain varieties (basmati, jasmine) stay fluffy; short-grain varieties (sushi rice) are stickier.
