The rice absorbs liquid as it cooks, expanding like a small sponge, until the liquid is almost gone and the rice has tripled or quadrupled in size.

Given the suggested portion of one cup of cooked rice, per person, 10 cups of uncooked rice (or 20 cups of cooked rice) should be used, because rice doubles in size once it's cooked.
A serving of rice (cooked) is about 1/2 cup. This applies for other cooked grains as well.
Dry rice usually expands to 3 times its normal size. So, 1 pound of cooked rice divided by 3 equals 1/3 of a pound of dry rice needed.
I steam rice using 1 cup uncooked rice to 1 cup water = 3 cups cooked rice. Exception: when cooking wild rice I use 1-1/4 cup water. Found this useful website that gives yields of uncooked to cooked of many foods: http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mp0563_01.htm
One cup of rice is 180 grams and it ll giv 243 calories.
One serving of cooked rice is a 1/2 cup. Because 1 cup of raw rice makes 3 cups cooked, then 8 teaspoons (1/6 of a cup) of raw rice equals a 1/2 cup serving of cooked rice.
225g of cooked slightly fluffed rice will be about 1 cup. This is a common amount of sushi rice for a standard size wrap.
Any dry bean when cooked will swell,which increases in size.
When the rice starch is hydrated, it loses the cohesion that holds the starch molecules of dry rice together after the hull of the grain is milled off or broken. The starches undergo a form of gelatinization. Cooked rice grains are swollen and soft, and will spoil more rapidly even if dehydrated again. They will harden and shrink if dried, but not to the original grain size. When rice is pre-cooked to make "instant rice", it is steamed under high pressure that does not allow the grains to expand much while the starch is being hydrated.
For westerners, 1 cup of rice per person (cooked rice) is standard. 1/2 cup of uncooked rice, generally, makes 1 cup of cooked rice. So 100 cups of cooked rice, cooked from 50 cups of uncooked rice.
it doubles and triples in size while cooked, so 1 cup raw = 2 to 3 cups cooked.
