Another great low-carb vegetable. Who doesn’t love butter-fried green cabbage or the simply amazing Asian cabbage stir-fry?
Avocado – 2 g.

Not just low carb, but also full of nutritious fat. Technically a fruit, but most people likely think of it as a vegetable. Avocado can be eaten in all kinds of ways, including on its own, in salads, or it can be used to make guacamole.
Broccoli – 4 g.

Asparagus – 2 g.
Asparagus – 2 g.
Revered as both a food and medicine – and aphrodisiac – by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans up to medieval times, asparagus is one of the world’s oldest cultivated vegetables. Nutritious and delicious! Try it wrapped with prosciutto and grilled.
Kale – 3 g.
Kale – 3 g.
Hardier than spinach, less watery, but just as nutrient-rich, kale can stand up to mincing, sautéing, baking, and much more.
Green beans – 4 g.
Green beans – 4 g.
Frenched, diced and tossed in a salad, fricasseed and more, green beans taste great especially with added fats like butter, an olive-oil vinaigrette, or bacon.

Eddie and I enjoy all of these, do you like all of them, have you a favourite?
All the best Jan
I never thought green veggies, other than peas, had carbs. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteAll my favourites as I prefer vegetables to fruit. I've just been out in the garden checking on our brocolli and cauliflowers. X
ReplyDelete...I enjoy many of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to print this out and post on my fridge, because I'm always guessing when it comes to veggies. Thanks so much! RO
ReplyDeleteThis vegetarian loves everyone of these. So glad you shared this post, Jan.
ReplyDeleteI love avocado☺

I've never tried Kale, but the rest I LOVE! In fact, I had spinach yesterday, and will again today. Did you mention spaghetti squash; another that I like. :)
ReplyDeletexoxo

ReplyDeletei LOVE them all, except kale. i am new to loving brussel sprouts, thanks to my meal service!!!
ReplyDeleteSpinach and brussel sprouts my favorites. I eat lots of spinach.
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, that is the only good thing about the dark half of the year, Brussels Sprouts and Kale!!
ReplyDeleteI love living down the road from farms! Lots of veggies around here!
ReplyDeleteOh I love my vegetables, but sprouts are definitely only for Christmas lol xx
ReplyDeleteI like and eat them all. Except Brussel Sprouts. My mother always cooked them to a nasty grey mess and I cannot (decades later) face them.
ReplyDeleteIt's easier to say which one we don't like...cauliflower! lol We LOVE all the rest and have one of these every night with dinner. Thanks for the list!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites: low carb - lettuce; more carbs: peppers of all colors.
ReplyDeleteAll so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love vegetables!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and we eat all of these-thanks
ReplyDeleteI don't eat much cabbage, but all the other vegetables are in my rotation of vegetables to eat each week.
ReplyDeleteLove all those veggies! I was brought up in an Italian Aussie family and we ate last to of homegrown veggies cooked Italian style. Thank you for visiting my blog Jan.
ReplyDeleteNice to know. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnd they re all so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteI love these healthy veggies! I just wish I would have when I was a younger person. Thank you so much for your very kind comment on my last post. I so appreciate your prayers, Jan. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteWe love all of these veggies and have most of them in my refrigerator. Low carb eating has made me feel so much better!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these. My husband, eh, not so much.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm #1 in the Top 10 list. I LOVE every single one of these delicious veggies, eat them every chance I get. I had no idea they were so healthy for us. That's good to know.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful week!
I have always loved vegetables and I think this makes it easier for me to follow a low carb way of eating. And I love eggs, meat, cheese and berries. I'm just lucky that way.
ReplyDeleteI like all of them :)
ReplyDeleteIch liebe und esse sie alle!
ReplyDeleteEs gibt nichts besseres :-)
Liebe Grüße

I love cauliflower
ReplyDeleteI do love most of them...
ReplyDeleteI like all these except courgette. Having said that I had a courgette fritter in a restaurant and it was delicious, but it did't taste of courgette.
ReplyDeleteJan - I love them all, but I am partial to brussels sprouts and asparagus!
ReplyDeleteLove the all. I never use avocado as a vegetable having been brought up with avocado as a fruit. My Dad used to make the best (sweet) avocado mousse and I make that too for dessert sometimes, although nowadays I use stevia or monk fruit sugar instead of real sugar.
ReplyDeleteAll are part of the foods I eat...and love!
ReplyDeletesuch a treasure read dear friend !
ReplyDeletewe eat all fondly ,they re seasonal here ,sprouts not seen around ever though
