1/4 cup of cooked brown rice is about 42 g, 1/3 cup is about 57 g, 1/2 cup is about 85 g, 2/3 cup is about 113 g, 3/4 cup is about 128 g and 1 cup is about 170 g (6.0 oz). One tablespoon is about 10.6 g and one teaspoon about 3.5 g.

Example: using cooked brown rice in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of cooked brown rice, that is 1.5 x 170 g, or about 255 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 170 to get about 1.18 cups.

How to measure cooked brown rice

Grains, flakes and meals vary by brand and by how finely they are processed. Pour the cooked brown rice into the cup without tapping and level it. Check whether the recipe means cooked or uncooked, because cooked weighs far more.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
