On my rice box the Nutritional Facts says “Per 1/3 cup (30 g)” and then at the bottom of the label it says “1/3 (30g) of rice as prepared without the addition of butter, margarine or salt” What does all this mean??
Sometimes the instructions will call for optional ingredients that can be added as part of the preparation. The label is indicating that the calories from any of these additions are not included in the nutrition facts. Adding butter to rice while cooking for instance would raise the values of some line items significantly (such as calories and fat) so they are letting you know that the label is just for preparing the rice with water only.
