Hot Peppers
 

Hi,
Could someone tell me the carb content of hot peppers. I mean the real hot dried red ones about one inch long (something like the top one in the picture below but even smaller).
Thank you.
Simon.

Am I the only one who eats these red hot peppers????
Any help with the carb count would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Simon.

Hi jay,

I got it at www.fitday.com.

A suggestion would be instead of using the pepper itself, try using different hot sauces. They all seem to be pretty low in carbs. Or even try the ones in jars.
