Or there's not much actual potato in it ......Mashing potatoes increases their GI. I imagine instant mash is even more finely "mashed". Maybe the spike occurs so soon after eating that you miss it when testing?
Never tried that and like most on here I cannot tolerate potato sadly. BUT! I have discovered something even tastier!!! If you have a blender then try well cooked cauliflower florets (minus most of the stalk bits) with a tablesp of both butter and cream cheese, plus a touch of garlic. Blend for couple of mins and I tell you it is amazing! Just like eating cheesy mashGood Morning folks. Anything potato is a big No No for me as it really raises my BS. but instant mash does not (Thankfully I like it ) Does anyone else use it ?
I know what you mean about the unpronounceable added ingredients @catinahat !!!I've had a quick Google for the carb content of various brands and they seem to range from 25 to 35g per serving so as with anything else the impact on bg would be down to how much of the stuff you have. The ingredients would put me off, lots of thing I would have trouble pronouncing. If I can't say it I'm not eating it.
The only way to find out is to testWhat about Celeriac, anyone tried it? I love it but not sure if it fits my Low Carb Diet?
Celeriac dauphinoise is very good and celeriac chips go very well with fish.Testing tonight ;-) It's supposed to be very low carb and very good in many other ways 5.9g per 100g

Only have frozen cauliflower at the moment but I am having it with my dinner later onYou'll not regret it
I buy a fresh head of cauliflower and it makes enough for three or four meals for me, and freezes well too if required. Mine doesn't last long enough to freeze so I keep in the fridgeOnly have frozen cauliflower at the moment but I am having it with my dinner later on
