rice, cous cous, pasta - same points when cooked

[Mandshg]

Hi

I've got the point value for 30g, 60g, etc of raw pasta, cous cous, rice, etc.

If I measure out the raw value and boil it / cook it, does it retain the same points value as it did when raw even though it weighs more?

yes

For example if I point 40g of pasta at 4 points (1point per 10g) then once cooked no matter how much it weighs (I have never checked weight after cooked no need really) it is still 4points once drained.

Hope that makes sense and helps?

The only reason it weighs more is because it takes on water! So it's not going to be more pp!
