Hi All,
I keep hearing how wonderful cruciferous vegetables are for T2’s which I am. So I looks them up to see what they were. Some of them are not at all keto/T2 friendly at all. Further research shows that the term “cruciferous” means any vegetable with a four pedal flower (looks like a cross if you hold your head right). All that means virtually all “dicot” (dicotyledons) plant with skinny pedals. (Dicots have four or five pedals on their flowers).
So “baloney” has to be called! Not all dicots with skinny pedals are T2/keto friendly.
So what “dicots” (“cruciferous” ) vegis are T2/keto friendly? My current list is: cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, broccoli, Brusselssssss sprouts.
Many thanks,
-T
