Does this exist somewhere?

If I read that I need 3 cups soaked sunflower seeds I am assuming that it means 3 cups after soaking. So how much sunflower seeds do I need to measure out in advance to get 3 cups after soaking?

Is there a chart that gives guidelines for how much foods will expand with soaking so that I don't waste ingredients by making too much or too little for recipes requiring soaked ingredients?

In Alissa's book - page 278-279, but since you asked so nice:

Sunflower seeds:

1 cup, soak for 6 hours, sprout for a day, will yield 2 cups of seeds. You don't have to wait for these to sprout, you can use them after soaking.
