Ok, this isn't a higher-carb green vegetable, but one that gets overlooked way too often.
Parsley
I love parsley, use it a lot. The flat leaf or Italian variety has the best flavour IMHO. 100 grams of parsley would be at least 2 packed cups after chopping, or a huge bunch. I chopped up the leaves of an average-sized bunch, and it weighed ~50g, and packed it into a one-cup measure.
50g / 1 cup packed .... chopped parsley has =
18 calories, 3.2g total carbs / 1.7g fiber, 1.5g protein, 0 fat
AND
- over 100% of the RDA for vitamin C, E and selenium (all anti-oxidants)
- 50% RDA vitamin A, 40% RDA folate
- 227mg potassium
