Why weigh white rice (uncooked) instead of measuring cups?
A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much white rice (uncooked) you add by weight. One US cup of white rice (uncooked) is taken as 185 g here, cited from USDA FoodData, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on how the white rice (uncooked) is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.
