Showing the top 25 of the 25 Dunnes Stores rice products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.
What Dunnes Stores's rice looks like next to everyone else's
Median across the 25 Dunnes Stores rice products with usable figures is 2g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 2.3g median for rice across all 374 products in the database, chains and name brands together.
Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Of the three chains carrying enough rice to compare, Dunnes Stores comes third, behind Lidl on 4.4g.
The best Dunnes Stores option here reaches 4.2g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider rice group something reaches 14.8g, so Dunnes Stores is not where the ceiling is.
Calories run from 46 to 493 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores rice range, an 11-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores rice” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.
What to pick in Dunnes Stores
Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 2g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.
6 of the 25 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
Where this fits
Rice across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Dunnes Stores sells is the other half of the comparison.
The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.
For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the free calorie tracker.
