Rice (uncooked): mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists uncooked rice in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of uncooked rice weighs about 78 g. Uncooked rice is lighter than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 0.78
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 0.78

Why Uncooked Rice Weighs What It Does
Dry rice grains pack closely but leave small gaps between them. That gives about 0.78 g per mL for long grain white rice, or around 185 g per cup.
Measuring Tips
Cooked rice is a different measure, because it absorbs water. This page is for dry rice only, so weigh the rice before you cook it.
