Re: Are pea shoots low glycemic?

[Guest guest]

Whether you eat peas or pea shoots, diabetics can eat them.  Peas are a bit

higher in carbs,like corn is, but it can be eaten in moderation.  I don't know

why the shoots would be different other than to have the green and can eat

greens.  I don't think any sprouts are high glycemic.  That would really

surprise me. 

 

I bought a turkey avocado wrap at Whole Foods and I ate a part of one half and

it was lousy.  Had all kinds of sprouts but I didn't eat until a bit later and

it was soggy and was breaking apart.  Also had no dressing in it and all I can

taste is onion (red) and can't see or find the avocado.   The greens or

sprouts were boring and  not very tasty.  It contianed wheat and soy and was

$8.  Very disappointing.  Maybe I'll dump out of the sprouted what tortilla

and add some dressing and tomato.  Even cucumber wasn't very good.    yuch.

 

I'll see if I have anything to check on pea shoots or pea sprouts, but sue don't

think they will be like anything except greens.  No greens that I know are high

glycemic are they?

I'm trying to find this out on google but all I get is talk about Peas, not pea

shoots.

I would imagine they are safe for diabetics because it's a sprout kind of thing.

If anyone knows can they share please?

Thanks much
