Baby cereals, rice-based

Rice-based baby cereals are cereal products made with rice for infants. The supplied data do not specify a preparation method. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 80g per 100g, alongside 11g of protein. The cereals also contain minerals, including 870mg of calcium and 20mg of iron per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports growth and tissue repair. Calcium is needed for normal bone development, and iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Nutrient content can vary between brands, and preparation with milk or water changes the amount supplied per weight of prepared cereal. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
