COOKED VEGETABLES.

Because most of the following foundation vegetables are usually served cooked, we've indicated their carb counts as such, unless otherwise noted. Some also appear on the salad vegetable list, but cooking compacts them, which explains the differences in carb counts. A standard serving of a cooked vegetable is a half cup. A number of these vegetables are slightly higher in carbs than the salad vegetables listed above. Unless otherwise noted, be sure to measure them after after you cook them. Note that some, such as Brussels sprouts, celery root, kohlrabi, leeks, mushrooms, onions, and pumpkin, are higher in carbs than most, so we have usually indicated smaller portions. You can steam, saute, stir-fry, or braise most of these vegetables. Boiling destroys and/or removes nutrients (unless you drink the broth). you cook them.
