Question conflicting carb counts...

Okay... once again, another question.

How much carbs is in spinach? I mean the carb counter pull out thing in my DANDR says one cup is 6.6 carbs... and the back of the book says one cup is 1.1 (net 0.2) carb.. SO?!?!

I had about 1/2 cup of frozen (I cooked it before eating though, grin!) spinach for supper and I don't know what carbs value to put next to it in my food log.

It's not the first time we've found differring amounts of carbs.. I can't tell what's what... How do I know on something like veggies?

Anyone?

Blessings!

In my copy (Jan 2002), both say 1.1 carbs for spinich (raw). Could be one of your values is for cooked spinach which would compact much miore and give more carbs per cup

PHEW! Thanks! I really didn't want it to be 6.6... I LOVE spinach... and it would very disappointing if it was a higher carb food. Didn't make sense .. 1.1 does.. thanks!

Blessings!
