Re: starchier squash -- was Are all winter squash legal?

[Guest guest]

As far as I can tell, all winter squashes are considered high-carb,

and thus " starchier " and more difficult to digest for some people.

Most winter squashes range from 15g to 20g of net carbs.

You can find some listings of carbohydrate content in vegetables

online; I don't have any particular one I use, just Google.

Thanks for your reply. I'll look that up for the other ones I plan to

grow. I'm going to try delicata, buttercup, butternut, and two

others. The first three, I should be able to find info on. I wonder

if ones from similar botanical families have similar starch level

qualities. Hmmm.
