Rice ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 409 rice products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the rice numbers show

409 of the 410 rice products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 2.4g of protein per 100 calories. 5 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 82, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 26 to 491 per 100g inside this one group, a 19-fold spread, so “rice” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Name brands do lead this one: 2.6g of protein per 100 calories at the median across 264 products, against 2.3g for the 145 own-label ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Lidl runs a median of 2.8g of protein per 100 calories across its 40 own-label rice products, Dunnes Stores 2.2g across 26.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as rice is not a protein food. The 5 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

16 of the 409 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

That chain-by-chain gap is why the biggest ranges get their own page: Lidl Rice covers 40 products, and everything else Lidl sells sits alongside it.

The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the calorie app.

Real rice products with a photo

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.
