Quantities Per Serving

Pasta: A single serving of pasta is generally regarded as 2 oz. (57 g) of cooked pasta for a first course or side dish. A serving can be raised 3 to 4 oz. (85 to 113 g) if it is the only course. Occasionally a serving is approximated as 1/2 cup (114 g) of pasta; however, this depends upon the shape of the pasta.

Popcorn: The recommended 3 tablespoon serving will yield 6 cups or 1½ quarts of popped corn. 2 tablespoons of kernels will yield 1 quart of popped corn. One cup of popcorn kernels yields 32 cups or 2 gallons of popped corn.
