Calories in Brussels Sprouts, Gongura, Arbi Stem

By NYUS Inc. · Published 29 October 2026

"Brussels sprouts calories per 100 g", "gongura calories" and "colocasia stem calories" are searched in India. This guide gives three rows from the Indian Food Composition Tables (IFCT 2017, ICMR-NIN) Table 1, all raw and per 100 g, with the Hindi and other Indian names IFCT prints: Brussels sprouts (Choote gobi), red stem gogu leaves (Gongura in Telugu, Pitwa in Hindi) and black colocasia stem (Arwi-ki-dandi, the arbi stem). The green stem gogu row and the green colocasia stem row are named on our other pages and are not repeated. Other leafy greens, including gongura with bathua and chaulai, are in our bathua, chaulai, gongura and sag guide and in Hindi in our Hindi sag guide, IFCT leafy greens in our green leafy vegetables guide, root vegetables in our root vegetables and tubers guide and cabbage and cauliflower in our carrot, beetroot, cabbage and cauliflower guide.

The short answer

By IFCT 2017, raw Brussels sprouts are 185 kJ per 100 g, which is 44 kcal; raw red stem gogu leaves (gongura) 153 kJ, 37 kcal; and raw black colocasia stem 100 kJ, 24 kcal. IFCT prints energy in kJ only, so the kcal are our conversion (kJ divided by 4.184, rounded to a whole kcal). IFCT prints no weight per sprout, per cup or per ounce, so we give no per-cup or per-ounce figure. Our reading: the Brussels sprouts row has the highest energy, protein (4.26 g), fibre (4.29 g) and carbohydrate (5.09 g) of the three and the least moisture, the colocasia stem the least of those and the most moisture (91.15 g), and the gongura row the most fat (1.07 g).

IFCT 2017: per 100 g, raw

Figures are as the IFCT 2017 PDF prints them (Table 1, PDF pages 44 and 47), per 100 g of edible portion: moisture, protein and total fat in g, total dietary fibre and available carbohydrate in g, and energy in kJ. All three rows come from a single region. The kcal is our conversion. IFCT 2017 says all its data except poultry and egg is for raw food (PDF p. 27), so these are raw weights. IFCT prints no portion weights, so there is no printed-portion table on this page. The gongura row is named "Gogu leaves, red" in Table 1 and "Gogu leaves, red stem" in the IFCT appendix of food names; we use the appendix name.

The local names IFCT prints for these rows in its appendix of food names (PDF pages 488, 489 and 498): Brussels sprouts, Hindi Choote gobi, Bengali Biliti Bandhakopi, Gujarati Nani kobi, Kannada Mara kosu, Malayalam Kalakose, Marathi Chotee gobi, Tamil Kalaikose, Telugu Chinna cabbage, Punjabi Chooti band gobi; gogu leaves, red stem, Hindi Pitwa, Telugu Gongura, Marathi Ambadi, Gujarati Ambadi, Tamil Pulichchai keerai, Malayalam Pulichai cheera, Kannada Pundi, Odia Nalite saga, Punjabi Pitwa sag, Urdu Ambada ki bhaji; colocasia stem, black, Hindi Arwi-ki-dandi, Marathi Alu-che-dath, Tamil Seppanthandu, Telugu Chama kada, Malayalam Chembin thandu, Kannada Kesu danthu, Bengali Kochur loti, Punjabi Arbi de dande, Odia Sarunada, Urdu Arwi ke kade.

100 g, 250 g and 500 g of these vegetables, raw

Vegetables are sold by 250 g and 500 g, which IFCT does not print. These three weights are ours: each cell is the IFCT kJ figure times the grams, divided by 100 and by 4.184, as kcal, with protein and fat as the IFCT per 100 g figure times the grams divided by 100, shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. They are raw edible portion; trimmings, tough stalks and peel you remove are not in these figures and IFCT prints no yield for them. None is a boiled sprout, a pachadi or a sabzi.

The weight sums: C012 185 kJ × 100 / 100 / 4.184 = 44.2161, so 44.2 kcal; C012 185 kJ × 250 / 100 / 4.184 = 110.5402, so 110.5 kcal; C012 185 kJ × 500 / 100 / 4.184 = 221.0803, so 221.1 kcal; C023 153 kJ × 100 / 100 / 4.184 = 36.5679, so 36.6 kcal; C023 153 kJ × 250 / 100 / 4.184 = 91.4197, so 91.4 kcal; C023 153 kJ × 500 / 100 / 4.184 = 182.8394, so 182.8 kcal; D040 100 kJ × 100 / 100 / 4.184 = 23.9006, so 23.9 kcal; D040 100 kJ × 250 / 100 / 4.184 = 59.7514, so 59.8 kcal; D040 100 kJ × 500 / 100 / 4.184 = 119.5029, so 119.5 kcal.

What stands out in the numbers

• Energy per 100 g, highest first: C012 (Brussels sprouts) 185 kJ = 44 kcal, C023 (Gogu leaves, red stem) 153 kJ = 37 kcal, D040 (Colocasia stem, black) 100 kJ = 24 kcal.
• Rows to check by hand: the Brussels sprouts row (C012) prints 4.26 g of protein and 4.29 g of fibre, the highest of the three; the colocasia stem row (D040) prints 91.15 g of moisture and 0.76 g of protein, the highest moisture and the lowest protein; all three are single-region rows. We show them as printed and do not adjust them.

Why these are reference rows, not your vegetable

• Names are IFCT's. The row names are the IFCT 2017 names with the scientific name, and the local names are those IFCT prints; we do not say which market vegetable matches which row.
• One region per row. All three rows come from a single region, so each is one sample set, not an Indian average.
• Raw only, no cup or piece weight. IFCT has no boiled, cooked, fried, pickled or pachadi row for these vegetables and prints no weight per sprout, per cup or per ounce, so the common "per cup" and "per ounce" questions have no IFCT answer.
• Edible portion. IFCT figures are per 100 g of edible portion, not of the vegetable as bought.
• Energy is converted. IFCT prints kJ; kcal is our kJ / 4.184, rounded.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Weigh the cleaned vegetable, and say raw. 100 g of raw Brussels sprouts (our example weight, not an IFCT value) on IFCT C012 is 185 × 100 / 100 / 4.184 = 44.2, so 44.2 kcal.
• Add the cooking separately. Oil, ghee and sugar are in our ghee, oil and sugar guide.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a vegetable from IFCT, keep to that row for the same meal rather than switching to a USDA row.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie target, and any claim about what these vegetables do to your body: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Gongura pachadi, pappu and pickle, roasted or boiled Brussels sprouts, arbi stem curry and any restaurant or maker's version: no row used here.
• A per-cup, per-ounce or per-piece figure: IFCT prints no weight, so we give none.
• The other IFCT 2017 rows for these vegetables are gogu leaves, green stem (C022) and colocasia stem, green (D041); they are left out because our other pages already name them, which makes the list of rows for these three vegetables complete at 5, 3 used here and 2 left out.
• Colocasia leaves (C018), colocasia root (F004) and kohlrabi rows: different foods, not covered here.
• Nutrients beyond energy, protein, fat, fibre, carbohydrate and the moisture IFCT prints: not covered here.

The kcal conversion (kJ / 4.184, whole kcal), the 100 g, 250 g and 500 g table, the sums, the rounding, the comparisons and every sentence starting "Our reading" are NYUS's own arithmetic or opinion, not from IFCT. The moisture, protein, fat, fibre, carbohydrate and kJ values and the local names are exactly as printed in the IFCT 2017 PDF. The names in the first column are IFCT's own row names.
