Brown rice

[cypher23]

This might be a dumb question. But if the ingredients say 1/4 cup of brown rice equals 180 calories and 40g of carbs. But obviously when the rice is cooked it expands to 1/2 cup. Is this the right logic or does it expand more?

[hellomycognomen]

Will probably expand more but the calories remain the same, as you cook it the seed takes up water leading to expansion.

The calories are for its dry form , but so long as its just tap water its the same calories since h20 has no calories

100g of dry brown rice looks like a joke , but cook that stuff and its a decent serving
