So my usual site,
http://caloriecount.about.com/calories- ... er-i140083
says poblano peppers are 368 calories for 121 grams (1 pepper)

but this site, says a raw poblano pepper is only 20 calories in 100g.

Clearly I like the second site better. Is there something about raw poblano peppers I don't know that would make one calorie count more accurate than the other?

For reference, a raw bell pepper is only 25 calories for 125g.

Thanks!

Not sure what poblano peppers are but I see lots of difference between red hot peppers and any other kind of peppers in my book.
Still, any other pepper is less than 300 calories per kilo!!!

I checked on MyFitnessPal and 100g of poblano pepper is 20 cal and 1 pepper is listed as having 13 cal.

Thanks so much!! yes, poblanos are a very flavorful, mild chili pepper. I love them

When I clicked your first link it said the pepper is 17 calories, so not sure where you saw 368 calories.

It said that one TS of pepper or 3.6 grms is 17 calories!!!

Right, 1 tablespoon was 17 calories on that site. When I entered how much pepper I had (121 grams) it said 368 calories - which seems really odd for a raw pepper.

Fit day says 32.7 calories

Pablano peppers would probably be the same as green peppers. They have few calories.

Love Poblano peppers, like to stuff them with lamb kafta and couscous. Not a fast day recipe but tastee for a non-fast day !
