How much rice is a normal serving? and is this dried or cooked weight?

I've looked up my basmatti rice on the database and it only has either 100g or 1g......but I have no idea how much I should be having per portion and as I said, whether it's cooked or uncooked weight.

Thanks for your help :smile:

    This link should help you!

    Also,not sure if you can taste the differences in rice, but try some of the Sushi rices. I like sticky rice and the flavor is better in my opinion!

    Good luck!

    Always dry unless it specifies "cooked" which is rare.

    Calories

    One serving (3/4 of a cup prepared) of basmati rice contains 150 calories.

    A 'normal' serving on my bag of tesco long grain rice is 75g before its cooked. That works out as a fair bit when its cooked, and i think was about 240 cals.

    - of which sugars: Trace
    Fat: 0.4g
