When it says on the back of a pack of rice that 100g of rice is equal to blah carbs, protein, etc does it mean 100g cooked or 100g uncooked?
After you cook rice etc the weight changes (sometimes 100g uncooked will be 400g cooked due to water).
I've been assuming that food labels were providing uncooked nutritional values, although my friend asked me if it was cooked or uncooked and I just couldn't be certain so I thought I would ask here.
If a food label gives nutritional information for 100g of said food, does it mean 100g cooked or 100g uncooked?
