Does anyone know if these are ok?  I bought them frozen and there is nothing added to them but they seem high in carbs.  Are they maybe more along the lines of a bean and should limit to 1/3 cup daily?


 


Thanks

Butter peas are a starchy vegetable and get counted towards your grain serving.

You're right; a sweet potato is a starcy vegetable which equals a grain serving.
