Tag: Balsamic vinegar calories

According to the USDA, a standard cup of cooked long-grain white rice contains approximately 205 calories. To understand how many calories are in cooked balsamic rice, you must factor in the vinegar, and any other recipe ingredients, as balsamic vinegar adds a small but notable number of calories.

Traditional balsamic vinegar itself is remarkably low-calorie, with just around 14 calories per tablespoon. However, balsamic *dressing* or vinaigrette, which includes oil, has a significantly higher calorie count, typically ranging from 70 to 120 calories for a two-tablespoon serving. The total calorie count depends heavily on the ratio of oil to vinegar, as well as any added sugars or emulsifiers.
