Measuring brown rice

Brown rice behaves like white rice in the pot: it takes up water and swells, so dry and cooked weights are far apart. Dry brown rice is 367 kcal per hundred grams and cooked is 123 kcal per hundred grams. Do not use a white rice row for brown rice, because they are separate foods in the USDA data. The records are long-grain brown rice, raw and cooked. Rice cooked in broth or with oil differs from plain boiled rice. The bowl rows are Remembite typical-serving estimates (a medium bowl assumes 250 g), not USDA values.
