Title: Spinach- A vegetables with many benefits
Post by: dr.nurul on December 24, 2014, 05:09:23 PM

Spinach
and other leafy greens are sometimes considered a "free" food on low-carb diets because they have so little impact on blood glucose. The vitamin K they are packed with may even have a positive impact on blood glucose , and some diabetics notice that it is easier to control their blood glucose when they eat a lot of greens. Note that 6 cups of raw spinach will cook down to only one cup of cooked spinach.
Carbohydrate and Fiber Counts for Spinach

1 cup raw spinach: .4 gram effective (net) carbohydrate plus .7 gram fiber and 7 calories
1 10 oz package raw spinach: 4 grams effective (net) carbohydrate plus 6 grams fiber and 65 calories
½ cup cooked spinach: 1 gram effective (net) carbohydrate plus 2 grams fiber and 21 calories
½ cup cooked chopped frozen spinach: 1 gram effective (net) carbohydrate plus 4 grams fiber and 32 calories
