Is sweet potato a carbohydrate?!


Question: Is sweet potato a carbohydrate?
I know potato is a carbohydrate but i also know that sweet potato is a distant relationship to potato

Answers:

There are carbohydrates in all plants, but the "starchier" carbohydrates will be in things like potatoes, grains, etc. Other carbohydrates will be sugar-related. Some carbohydrates are "worse" than others in various ways though.

Yes it is. And I was recently told by my doctor that carrots and peas are no longer listed as vegetables but instead are listed as starches or carbohydrates along with the potato (regular and sweet), rice, noodles, etc.

Hope that helps.
