How many cups is 540 grams of cooked white rice?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of cooked white rice weighs 158 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168878 “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked”, portion “1 cup” = 158 grams. In kitchen measures that is just over 3 3/8 cups.
540 grams of cooked white rice equals 3.42 US cups; the way back, from cups to grams, is the Cups to Grams converter.
Uncooked white rice weighs 185 grams per cup, so the same 540 grams of it is 2.92 cups.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup of 250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is 5.7 % larger, so the same weight fills 3.23 cups of that size.
How 540 grams of cooked white rice was converted to cups
A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of cooked white rice weighs 158 grams (one hundred fifty-eight), so divide 540 by 158.
540 g ÷ 158 g
≈3.42 cups
(three point four two cups)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168878 “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked”, portion “1 cup” = 158 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

This page starts from grams and answers in cups. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s cups weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the cups to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US cup of cooked white rice is 158 grams there and here.
