Precision Portions: The 30-Variety Rice Yield Calculator
Measuring rice is one of the most common points of confusion in the kitchen. Because different grains absorb water at different rates, one cup of dry rice can yield anywhere from two to four cups once cooked. This Free Rice Yield Calculator provides instant conversions for 30 specific types of rice. It is unlimited, requires no sign-up, and no log-in.
Whether you are meal prepping for the week or scaling a recipe for a large dinner party, this tool ensures you cook exactly the right amount every time.
Why Rice Expansion Varies
The "expansion ratio" of rice depends on the starch content and the processing of the grain:
- Long Grain White Rice: Generally expands at a 1:3 ratio.
- Brown Rice: Due to the bran layer and longer cook times, it often expands more, reaching up to a 1:4 ratio.
- Sushi & Sticky Rice: These high-starch, short-grain varieties are denser and typically expand at a lower 1:2.5 ratio.
- Instant Rice: Since it is pre-cooked and dehydrated, it has the lowest expansion, usually 1:2.
