1/4 Cup of Rice in Grams
1/4 cup of uncooked white rice weighs 46 grams (about 1.6 oz), based on 185 g per US cup (level cup). That's the same as 4 tablespoons of uncooked white rice. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
A 1/4 cup measure is the smallest scoop in a standard set, so this one you almost certainly own. Two of them make 1/2 cup (93 g) and four make a full cup (185 g).

No 1/4 cup measure? Use spoons

|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ⅛ cup | 23 g | 2 tablespoons |
| As written | ¼ cup | 46 g | 4 tablespoons |
| Double | ½ cup | 93 g | 8 tablespoons |
