    If it says that a serving is 1/4 cup dry and you cook 1 cup, then you will have prepared four servings.

    It absorbs water while it is cooking so the same amount of rice a different weight once it is cooked. But you can weigh cooked rice, you'll just want to make sure that the database entry you're using is also for cooked rice.
