Boiled versions shed part of their soluble oxalate into the discarded water (typically 30-50%), raw versions retain everything, and frozen sits close to raw. Rice Brown measures 5 mg per standard serving, in the middle of the family range — check the form you actually eat rather than the base name. Related forms in this family: Rice white (1 mg), Wild Rice (8 mg), Jasmine Rice (1 mg).
