Overview
A clear explanation of the value and what it means.
The reviewed entry for white long-grain rice cooked without salt lists 68.44 g of water and 130 kcal per 100 g. These values describe cooked rice, not dry rice.
Answer
This entry lists 68.44 g of water and 130 kcal per 100 g of cooked white long-grain rice.
- Dry rice and cooked rice have separate nutrition entries.
- The more water rice absorbs, the fewer calories it contains per 100 g.
- For your own batch, use the total nutrition of the dry rice and the actual cooked weight to calculate nutrition per gram.
How it is calculated
The formula or method behind the calculation.
At 130 kcal per 100 g, a 200 g portion contains 260 kcal. Your homemade rice may differ depending on how much water it absorbs.
