[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 352459, member: 8110"] Frozen veg is excellent quality and value for money. However, not all vegetables are low in carbs. Pulses [peas, beans and lentils] all have significant amounts of carbs, either sugars or staarches. Corn is a grass, so its seeds contain starch. In fact the Americans call cornflour "cornstarch" and you can certainly starch cloth with it. I do eat these vegetables, but in SMALL portions. In fact the easiest way to reduce carbs is to have smaller portions. [a portion of veggies is as much as you can hold in you hand.] One of the best things about frozen veg is that it avoids waste. You use as much as you need. I also believe it's better than canned, because canned veggies have been cooked under pressure at high temperatures during the manufacturing process. Root veggies can be high in arbs too. So carrots and onions contain sugar and parsnips and potatoes contain starch. As a general rule, if food is sweet, it contains sugar. [hence fruits!] Starch thickens liquids! Hana [/QUOTE]
