The naturally slow ‘burning’ sugars in the plant are metabolised in the body at a much slower rate than regular starch vegetables.. Therefore a better alternative for diabetics with a low tolerance for starch sugars. This is only one example of the many benefits of including this easy-to-grow plant in your garden and your diet.
