On the nutrition label of the rice (basmati) it says for 1/4 cup is 160 calories.

Does that mean 1/4 cooked or uncooked?

    I just looked that up on the packet today and my Basmati rice said 100 grams of cooked rice = 145 calories

    I stopped eating white rice because it increases the risk of diabetes. I go with the long grain brown which is loaded with complex carbohydrates and doesn't give you a sugar spike.

    From the database:

    Rice - White, long-grain, regular, cooked, 1 cup is 205 calories

    Your 1/4 cup of basmati is uncooked, and will produce approximately 2/3 cup cooked rice.

    Cups are the devil's measure.

    What brand is it?
    Does the label mention a weight serving?
