Are you planning a small event or curious to know the grams in 1\/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 cups of rice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a cup of rice can be measured in grams<\/strong>, and it\u2019s one of the best ways to ensure you do not go overboard with your measurements or end up with unnecessary leftovers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re trying to follow a cookbook recipe, this guide still applies to you and can help you familiarize yourself with the right measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without further ado, let’s get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the gram (mass)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gram is popularly known as a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) (metric system). The term “Gram” hails from the Greek word “gramma,” meaning “a small weight.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One gram is equal to 1,000 (one thousandth) of a kilogram, which is about the mass of one cubic centimeter (cm3) of water at 4 degrees celsius. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cup is a customary unit of measurement in the United States, but it is not part of the International System of Units (SI). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
