Default High and Low Carb Foods?

Looking at a radish I see it grows at the surface so it should

tables definitely works better than my approximation.


Yeah, the underground test doesn't work too well, since root vegetables
run the gamut from the very low-carb radish, up through turnips, onions,
carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, all the way to the very high-carb
potato.
