Vegetables like corns, squashes and peas constitute a major portion of carbohydrates in them and a cup of them every day comprises approximately ads 15 grams of carbohydrates to our body. When they were compared with non-starchy vegetables which contained in hem half as much the starchy veggies. So, people who complain about continuous variance in their sugar levels can consume the less starch containing foods as much as they can be avoiding those full of starch.
However, diet experts say that everything eaten within proportion is good and harmless. Anything that exceeds limit is problematic always. Hence non- starchy vegetables like cauliflower, kale, spinach, Brussels, sprouts and etc should be preferred over potatoes, peas and other starchy vegetables.
