According to this article, you don’t have to skip the spud (or other starchy veggies) if you have diabetes. Certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian Melissa Joy Dobbins, M.S., RDN, CDCES, said, “While many people with diabetes think they need to avoid starchy vegetables, the truth is that they can indeed enjoy these foods in their daily diet.”
The article shared that many fiber-containing foods have both soluble and insoluble fiber, which play distinctive roles in the digestive process. It states, “You can even feel the difference in the foods you’re eating…The skin of a potato or the outer layer of a black bean or piece of corn contains insoluble fiber while the softer, inner layer houses soluble fiber.”
When asked what the most underrated canned food item is, celebrity chef and restaurateur Antonia Lofaso said potatoes! She explained, “They’re perfectly cooked, there is no water on them, they’re perfectly seasoned, and they mix in so well.”
