minus-squarefeedum_sneedson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSo is potato like a grain to you? In the sense of treating it more like a staple?
minus-squarelugal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoAbsolutely! Potatoes, grains (except mais) and legumes (except green beans) are carbs (or staples). Polenta is too, despite being made of mais. I thought that’s the default?
minus-squaremichaelmrose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 days agoIn the US carb is not a base category of food its a broader category in which things which are themselves in in other categories belong. EG vegetable and grain are base categories like meat.
