Beeb's Jicama

[beebs]

Umpa what would the carb count be on 1 pound of shredded Jicama? I need to know for a recipe Im converting....

[Doug Varrieur]

Hi Beebs, I figured the carb counts by measurement not weight. You'll need to look in your carb counter book and get the per cup count then weigh it...let us know the results

[beebs]

I dont have any means to weigh it.........

[Phil]

I read 1.1 per ounce Beebs. Not counting the fiber it's very high in a jicama. One of those magic veggies that wont mess with my BG much.

[beebs]

How many ounces make a pound? 16?

[Phil]

ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding  you are correct! 16 

[beebs]

So what does that  come out to? My brain is goo from job training workshop......

[Phil]

     

              17.6 per pound I think the fiber is around 4.5 per ounce

[umpa]

And thats why we pay you the big bucks Phil!!! 

[Phil]

Anything to help

[beebs]

So you subtract fiber from the 17.6? sHEESH i HAVE THIS ALL buggered up! Help!!!

[Phil]

Beebs, I'm sorry I should have left the fiber out, it wasn't really part of the equation.

[beebs]

I have no idea what the carb count is on this dish....sigh........
