Confused about Cauli and Broccoli

Lemonie · Nov 14, 2012

I always use the Calorie, Carb and Fat Diary for my carbs. In here it says broccoli is 1.1g of carbs per 100g and cauliflower is 2.1g carbs per 100g. On my iPhone app Broccoli is 7g carbs/100g which is a big difference! What is the correct counts for both please as am confused?

Calorie, Carb & Fat Bible 2010 has broccoli at 1.1g of carbs per 100g weight and cauliflower at 2.1 (both boiled).

iPhone app being US quotes Gross figure which includes the insoluble fibre which is still stricly speaking a carb and needs to be subtracted.
