What Lidl's rice looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 40 Lidl rice products with usable figures is 2.8g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 2.4g median for rice across all 408 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, Lidl has the strongest own-label range; Dunnes Stores the weakest.

The best Lidl option here reaches 9g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider rice group something reaches 21.4g, so Lidl is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 92 to 480 per 100g across the Lidl rice range, a 5-fold spread, so “Lidl rice” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 2.8g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

1 of the 40 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 Lidl 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 calorie app.
