THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • It is starchier than most vegetables, so large portions contribute more carbohydrate and energy.
  • Raw portions may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive people; cooking often improves tolerance.
  • Nutrient values vary by variety, freshness and cooking method.
