Rice, brown, basmati, raw

Brown basmati rice is a wholegrain cereal that retains its outer bran layer. The figures here are for raw, uncooked rice. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 78g per 100g, alongside 8.9g of protein and 3.3g of fibre. Its energy content is 1508 kJ per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Rice absorbs water during cooking, so cooked rice has a different nutrient content by weight from the raw rice described here. Added salt, oils or sauces also affect the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures for raw brown basmati rice are in the tables below.
