10 Low Carb Vegetables
Vegetable #7: Asparagus
Asparagus may not be everyone’s favorite vegetable, but it has some serious health benefits. One cup of cooked asparagus has 8 grams of carbohydrates, 4 of which come from fiber.
Asparagus is also a nutrient powerhouse. Asparagus is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells. With diabetes and chronic disease on the rise, it is important for everyone to watch their blood sugar levels.
