Rice, white, long grain, raw

White long-grain rice is a cereal grain with the outer bran and germ removed. The figures here describe raw, uncooked rice. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 85g per 100g, alongside 6.7g of protein and 1g of fat. Its energy content is 1513 kJ per 100g.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the growth and repair of tissues. White rice contains relatively little fibre because the bran has been removed. Rice absorbs water during cooking, so these raw values do not represent the same weight of cooked rice. Added salt, oil or sauces will also affect its nutritional content.
