I love the word Buckwheat

 

[RottenWillow]

(whole) pinto beans have a phenomenal GI number and even mashed (ie. refried beans) still have a superior GI number to oats. To the list of grains I'd add sorghum.

While I count the carbs in everything without the minus the fibre thing, would you still consider the items in bold carbs as they are so low in carbs?

For example 100 g of cauliflower has 3 g of carbs, broccoli (100g) has 1.1 g of carbs, 100 g of green beans has 3.2 g.


Kale and swiss chard, while yummy, would have less being greens.
