}Explanation
Convert ounces by weight of basmati rice to US cups with the same ounce-per-cup reference used in reverse.
Recipe or label weights can therefore be measured in cups on one consistent basis. That is especially useful for batch cooking and portion planning, where grain volume and weight need to stay aligned. Basmati Rice can vary with grain shape and how the grains settle in the cup, so the page keeps one explicit basis for repeatable prep.
