Explanation

Use 160 g per US cup as the reference when converting rice starch from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. Rice Starch can vary with fineness, aeration, and settling, so the page keeps one fixed basis for repeatable measuring.

Method & Cup Basis

Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
Applied formula: grams = cups × 160.
Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.

1/4	40
1/3	53
1/2	80
