How do I measure 185 grams without a kitchen scale?
185g is exactly 1 cup of raw rice, or 1½ cups of spooned flour.
Why does 185 grams produce different cup volumes for different ingredients?
Cups measure volume (3D physical space) while grams measure mass (weight). Because granulated sugar (200g/cup) is significantly denser than all-purpose flour (125g/cup), 185 grams of sugar occupies far less cup volume than 185 grams of flour.
