Rice, white, basmati, raw

White basmati rice is a long-grain cereal, described here in its raw, uncooked form. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 84g per 100g, alongside 8.1g of protein and 0.5g of fat. Its energy content is 1495 kJ per 100g. These figures refer to the dry rice, rather than rice that has been cooked.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while protein supports the growth and repair of tissues. Rice absorbs water during cooking, so cooked rice has a different nutrient concentration by weight. For people watching their salt or fat intake, additions such as salt, oil or butter will affect the final dish. Full nutrient figures for raw white basmati rice are in the tables below.
