Still with rice...
Besondere Wirtschaftlichkeit: Die erhöhte Wasseraufnahme erzielt beim Garen eine bessere *Ergiebigkeit* und somit ein unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Does it mean that a greater quantity of rice is produced because it absorbs so much water (and is therefore more economical to use?
Please put me right - I'm up against a very tight deadline here and can barely get my brain to function, (Stress, stress). Thanks guys!

volume yield
Like that yummy scrummy sticky rice in Thailand

: I quite like the emphasis on "volume" because after all you seem to be starting with a certain quantity of rice and that "explodes". "Yield" (alone) makes me think it "grows" in the wok or whatever.

...fills you up more, you spend less. Just what that sticky stuff above does. We eat it with Indian and Chinese food.

yield
produces a better yield
Although how that would make it more economical beats me, since the increased volume would just be water.

goes further
more water is absorbed so the rice "swells" more and therefore goes further.
That's how I read it anyway.

: That sounds more like it - fills more bellies. But the purpose/style of the translation might speak against it.

I decided against "swelling index" and "(volume) expansion ratio" as too scientific
