About cooked rice measurements
Once rice absorbs water it becomes denser than its dry form — about 1.06 g/ml, roughly 250 g per US cup. How firmly it is packed swings the weight most: loosely fluffed grains fall short of a cup pressed down, and stickier short-grain rice compresses more than fluffy long-grain.
