Compared to other food groups, vegetables don’t stand out as being rich in carbohydrates. In fact, the majority of vegetables have very little carbohydrates per 100 grams. However, controlling which vegetables have the least carbohydrates can help you to have a more balanced diet.
As a general rule, green vegetables are usually very low in carbohydrates, such as watercress, turnip leaves or lettuce (which you can see, are at the top of the list.) On the opposite side of the scale is cassava or sweet potatoes, which are vegetables with more carbohydrates according to this ranking.
The vegetables with the least carbohydrates are also low in calories and as a consequence, are less fattening vegetables. Here you can take a look at the ranking of vegetables with the least calories. You can also find out detailed information of each vegetable in this ranking.
