turnips, parsnips, etc

Hi,

I've just begun experimenting with root veggies like these, and
they're all delicious and make wonderful chips. They're so good I
wonder if they
can really be low-carb. 🙂

Has anyone got a quick comparison chart of these vs each other and
vs potatoes? I don't want to dig through the whole of the Glycemic
Load
thingy.

This isn't a chart, but it is a fairly easy source to use:

Take care,
Carmen

Ok, Mendosa had an article at http://www.mendosa.com/freefoods.htm on "Free
Foods" with a link to USDA charts.

Here's from my very rough search through the chart at
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR15/dnload/sr15dnld.html
