Like nuts are nut trees, apples are apple trees, grapes are grape vines,
mmmmm hmmmmm. A better rule would be to think seeds as high carb, the rest
of the plant is low carb. Seeds, like eggs, contain a lot of energy to get
the new plant started. That's why green peas are fairly high carb but snow
peas, which are picked before the seeds are fully developed and eat casing
and all are lower carb. Root vegetables are similar, most of them are
tubers which will grow if you plant them so they also store energy. Some
seeds break the rule a bit, nuts are generally higher in fat and protein
than carbs, they store their energy in a different form. Leafy greens are
hard workers, lean and mean.
