Brown Rice
Uncooked brown rice weighs 190g per cup. After cooking it nearly triples in weight to about 540g (a roughly 1:2.5 rice-to-water ratio with 45 minutes simmering). Has the bran and germ intact, so it's denser than white rice (185g/cup) and takes twice as long to cook. Higher fiber and B-vitamins; chewier texture suits pilafs and bowls more than sticky-rice dishes.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
