Brand is Harvest Medley from SunWest Foods, California.

Ingredients: Calmati Brown Rice, Wild rice, Heirloom Red Rice, Sweet Brown rice.

Per 1/4 cup cooked (41g), it has:

130 calories
1 g Fat
27 g Carbs
4 g Fiber
0 g protein..


Now my question refers to the portion size..
1) Seems like a hell of a lot of nutrients (calories, carbs) for only 1/4 cup COOKED, maybe they meant uncooked

2) Same deal for the 41 g, cooked, uncooked?

Additionnaly, 0 g protein ?!

What do you think?

I guess they meant 'uncooked'. No way a 1/4 cup cooked rice has 130 cals.
41g is uncooked weight of the 1/4 cup, cooked would be much more because of the added water weight.
And rice is all carbs and no protein, so 0g protein is right.
