Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Bruce Winter squash...butternut, acorn, hubbard. Charlene <>< Charlene Flikkema Choir Director Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville Spirit Led! Galations 5:16 Hi density vegetable Hi: Can someone tell me the highest density vegetable in terms of the carbohydrate content? Most vegetables consist mostly of water. I would need to eat many cups of vegetables to get the same amount of carbs I get in once slice of regular white bread (which of course is SCD illegal). The problem with this is that you also get a lot of fiber which in me causes a lot of unwanted gas. So which vegetable has the most carbs as starch? I know a number of beans that are SCD legal are possible candidates, but are there any vegetables that can do the trick? Thanks, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 As the prior poster wrote, all of the winter squashes are high in carbohydrates. One cup of any of these = 80 calories = the number of calories in a slice of bread = 1 carbohydrate exchange using the American Diabetes Association's food exchanges. You can also use 1/2 cup of green peas or 1/3 cup of lentils, split peas, navy beans, or other legal beans under the SCD. Since I can't yet use beans, I eat a lot of peas and squash > > Bruce > > Winter squash...butternut, acorn, hubbard. > > Charlene > <>< > > Charlene Flikkema > Choir Director > Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville > Spirit Led!
