Recipe Yield Converter

USDA dietary guidance uses 1/2 cup of cooked rice, pasta, or other grain as one standard serving.

This calculator works from cooked volume; raw rice roughly triples in volume when cooked, so about 1.33 cups of raw rice yields roughly 4 cups cooked — check your specific rice variety's package instructions for the exact ratio.

It's the standard dietary-guidance serving size, but many people eat more as a main-dish portion — treat it as a planning baseline and scale up for heartier appetites.
