[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2396976, member: 6467"] After a few false starts I have taken to celeriac. I didn't manage to get celeriac chips (deep fried) to work because they didn't go crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Probably too much water in them. However peeled, diced and boiled then pureed with a stick blender and you get a pleasant substitute for mashed potatoes. Remember plenty of butter. More to the point, it doesn't seem to affect my BG at all which is amazing. Given that carrots can be a bit sugary I am also pleasantly surprised that the frozen swede and carrot mash from Iceland also doesn't seem to affect my BG either. I've just noted that celeriac is a winter vegetable and so may not be in the shops for much longer but fresh (unpeeled) celeriac is about £1.50 a kilo (Waitrose, Sainsbury) and Waitrose do frozen diced celeriac for £1.75 a kilo which must be about the same as peeled celeriac. This gives me the option of processing fresh celeriac into mash and freezing the portions, or buying ready frozen and making half a kilo of mash as needed. [/QUOTE]
