This is true even for vegetables with high starch content.

1, potato

The carbohydrate of potato is 17.2g/ 100g, and that of ordinary steamed rice is 25.9/ 100g. It seems to be less than rice, but the calories are much more than vegetables, so it should not be classified as vegetables, but as staple food.

2. Chinese yam

It is also often eaten as a vegetable. Common dishes are stewed pork ribs with yam, fried pork slices with yam, fried yam with fungus and so on. The carbohydrate of yam is 12.4g/ 100g. Here are some data comparisons between yam and steamed rice. The calories and carbohydrates of yam are almost half lower than that of rice.

3, edamame

It is not only regarded as a vegetable by many people, but also as a snack sometimes. It's convenient to eat, but it's a staple food. Many beans are staple food. It is best to add it to rice to make miscellaneous grains rice, which is an appropriate healthy staple food. Moreover, it should be noted that the calories of edamame are higher than that of rice.

4. Lotus root

Hubei lotus root soup is the best in the world, and Hubei itself is known as a paradise for carbohydrates. Many breakfasts are fried carbohydrates, which are extremely high in calories. Lunch with soup and rice, I thought it was a healthy combination of vegetables and protein, but I didn't expect the staple food to exceed the standard.
