Starch Staples List on the McDougall Website
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2019 6:17 pmHi Jeff,
What are the criteria used to determine if a food should be a starch staple please?
Using Cronometer, I looked at the amount of starch in rutabaga and celeriac root, which are on the list, and they seem very low in starch.
Peas are allowed as a non-starchy veggie on the Mary's Mini, but they have more starch than both rutabagas and celeriac.
When foods are compared for starch content, is it the amount of starch in a given weight of food or a given number of calories.
Thanks for your help!
