Brown rice keeps the bran and germ that are milled away to make white rice, giving it a chewier texture and nuttier taste. Cooked, it has about 112 kcal per 100 g, slightly fewer than white rice, along with more fiber. Rice absorbs a lot of water as it cooks, so weighing it cooked and logging cooked values avoids the common mix-up with dry weight.
Typical portion: A cup of cooked brown rice weighs about 195 g, which works out to roughly 220 kcal.
Also known as: brown rice, boiled brown rice, brown chawal, whole grain rice, steamed brown rice
