Rice, white, long grain, easy cook, raw

White long-grain easy-cook rice is a cereal grain; the figures here describe it raw, before cooking. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 82g per 100g, alongside 7g of protein and 1.7g of fibre. Its energy content is 1477 kJ per 100g. These values refer to the dry rice rather than the cooked food.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the growth and repair of tissues. Rice absorbs water during cooking, so cooked rice contains less energy and nutrients per equal weight than raw rice. Added salt, oils or sauces will change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures for the raw rice are in the tables below.
