How much rice do people in Europe consume? Still very far from the 268kg in Bangladesh. Source: https://landgeist.com/2022/06/25/rice-consumption-in-europe/

ΒΏDoes such a statistic refer to the dry amount of rice that you purchase at a store or the soaked state that you put in your mouth and which contains manifold its own dry weight in water?

The dry for sure. Otherwise we would be starving.

The data for this map comes from the FAO. The data includes any product made of rice, including rice noodles, sake, rice starch, rice flour and other products made of rice. The amount of rice in the dataset concerns the raw (uncooked) weight.

Interesting, I often purchase rice crackers/paddies. I guess they would overestimate my consumption because 1 kg of dry rice will get you much further (once you add the water) calorie wise than 1 kg of rice waffles.
