Rice — Pounds in Cups
1 pound of rice equals 2.3 ( ~ 2 1/4) cups*
About rice measurements
Uncooked rice pours to about 0.85 g/ml, roughly 200 g per US cup, but grain shape rules the number. Short, round grains nest tightly and weigh more per cup, while long-grain basmati leaves more space between grains, so a cup of one variety is not the same weight as another.

Notes: results are rounded (by default) to 3 significant figures. Cooking conversions use standard ingredient densities — the exact weight varies slightly with the brand and how tightly the ingredient is packed ☺.
