VEGGIE VS. STARCHY VEGGIE

It’s true! Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to calories. Starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, peas and corn, generally contain more calories per cup than non-starchy vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, asparagus and spinach. But, starchy veggies are still wonderful sources of fiber and other nutrients. Consider consuming a colorful variety of vegetables every day as part of a nutrient-rich eating style.
