Rice Conversion Formulas
Cooked Rice Amount = Uncooked Rice Amount × Conversion RatioBasic Yield Formula:
Cooked Amount = Uncooked Amount × Type Ratio × Texture AdjustmentWater Requirement Formula:
Water Needed = Uncooked Amount × Water RatioServing Size Formula:
Number of Servings = Cooked Amount ÷ 0.5 cupsHow to Convert Uncooked Rice to Cooked Rice
- Determine rice variety (white, brown, wild, etc.)
- Identify expansion ratio for your chosen type
- Calculate final volume using the conversion formula
For 1 cup of uncooked white rice, your calculations would be:
Cooked Amount = 1 cup × 3 = 3 cups cooked rice
Water Needed = 1 cup × 2 = 2 cups waterFor different rice types, typical cooking ratios include:
- White Rice: Ratio: 1:2, Yield: 1 cup = 3 cups cooked
- Brown Rice: Ratio: 1:2.5, Yield: 1 cup = 3 cups cooked
- Basmati Rice: Ratio: 1:1.5, Yield: 1 cup = 3.5 cups cooked
- Wild Rice: Ratio: 1:3, Yield: 1 cup = 4 cups cooked
- Sushi Rice: Ratio: 1:1.2, Yield: 1 cup = 2.5 cups cooked
What is Uncooked Rice and Cooked Rice?
Uncooked rice represents the raw grain form, characterized by its hard, dehydrated state. These compact kernels contain minimal moisture and maintain excellent shelf stability. Their dense nature makes them ideal for long-term storage and efficient transportation.
Cooked rice undergoes a remarkable transformation process through heat and water absorption. During cooking, the grain structure changes as it absorbs water, causing significant expansion. The internal starches gelatinize, creating the tender texture and pleasant mouthfeel we associate with perfectly cooked rice.
