Why You Should Feed Your Family Starchy Vegetables

Starchy vegetables aren’t that popular among nutritionists who refer to starchy vegetables as any vegetable that contains more calories and carbohydrates than they do vitamins. But, there are actually a lot of starchy vegetables that contain quite a few vitamins and minerals, so don’t think that serving these vegetables is a bad thing. There is a class of vegetables that aren’t starchy and are great for dieting, but peas are an example of a starchy vegetable and they contain more vitamin A than you need in an entire day.

Key Takeaways:
