Explanation

Calculation basis: 1 divided by the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.

Basmati Rice uses a recorded reference of 198 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart (Rice, long grain dry: 1/2 cup = 99g, derived)

Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Particle size, aeration, settling, and whether the cup is scooped or spoon-filled can materially change the mass held by the same volume.
