Does Cooked Quinoa Weigh the Same?
No. Quinoa absorbs water and expands during cooking, so a cup of cooked quinoa does not weigh the same as a cup of dry quinoa.
Use this converter when a recipe specifies dry or uncooked quinoa. If the recipe asks for cooked quinoa, measure it after cooking.
How Much Cooked Quinoa Does One Cup Make?
One cup of dry quinoa commonly produces about three cups of cooked quinoa. The exact yield varies with the cooking method and the amount of water absorbed.
Follow the instructions on the package when deciding how much water to add and how long to cook it.

- Measure quinoa while it is dry unless the recipe specifically asks for cooked quinoa.
- Fill the measuring cup without pressing or compacting the grains.
- Level the top with a straight edge.
