How cooking changes it
Per 100 g of cooked food. Yield is how many grams of cooked food 100 g raw makes: grains absorb water, meat loses it, and some vitamins break down.

| Raw | 100% | 322 kcal | 15.9 g | 26.5 g | 3.6 g |
| Boiled | 100% | 322 kcal | 15.9 g | 26.5 g | 3.6 g |

What to pair it with
Better cooked
Protein from cooked eggs is about 90% absorbed, from raw ones only about 50%; raw eggs also carry a salmonella risk.
