Comparison of rice to other major staple foods 
The table below shows the nutrient content of major staple foods in a
 raw form. Raw grains, however, aren't edible and can not be digested. 
These must be 
sprouted,
 or prepared and cooked for human consumption. In sprouted and cooked 
form, the relative nutritional and anti-nutritional contents of each of 
these grains is remarkably different from that of raw form of these 
grains reported in this table.
