Hi Cicely & Lizzy:

Cicely, that link didn't work but what you give suggests that they are NS veggies. Lizzy, thanks for the link. It was helpful except I don't know how to convert the weight to measurement to figure it out.

I keep finding different carb counts for these babies. Fitday has edible pea pods listed at 11.28 grams/1 cup which makes them a starch. I found this link: http://www.broccoli.com/peasnut.htm but don't know how that converts either. Then there's this one: http://www.google.ca/search?q=cache...&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 which makes them a starch as well.

There are differing opinions on carb count and I'm not sure why Schwarzbein didn't include them on her list. Maybe I'll compromise and make it half veggie & half starch.

Come to think of it, I think the carb count is the same for baby carrots. Yep, I just checked - 11 grams/1 cup. I've been counting them raw as veggies.

Ok, now I'm scratching my head in indecision.

Wanda
