caloric value of cauliflower on cronometer

Walker

here in Germany we get for cauliflower a calorie value of about 25 kcal for 100 g; on cronometer this value (285 kcal) is in my opinion far far too high

PS: I eat the cauliflower without any sauce, without oil etc.

Which cauliflower are you using? Cauliflower, raw; Cauliflower, cooked from fresh; and Cauliflower, cooked from frozen all come up around 25 kcal/100g on my phone.

I eat the cauliflower completely eaw, uncooked, I am raw foodist

Sorry, which cauliflower FROM THE CRONOMETER DATABASE are you using? Because the 3 I have suggested above all have roughly the same calorie value as you are expecting, 25 kcal. I think you have managed to pick one from the DB (there are many) that includes a fatty sauce.

Search explicitly for "Cauliflower, raw" and I think you will get the values you expect.

I used "Caulipower, Cauli flour" and that brought me the result 285 kcal.
Now I found "cauliflower" with 29,41 kcal.

You are right. Now I found the correct "cauliflower". Thank you

If you are looking for data for whole raw foods, I would recommend using lab analysed listings like the one @jefmcg mentioned. Lab analyzed listings will contain the most diverse range of convenient servings sizes and the most comprehensive data for micronutrients.

Thank you, Hilary, more than two years ago you took the time and wrote me. I am German and not so familiar with cronomter forums. Pls excuse my mistakes in your language.
