    Absolutely! Potatoes, grains (except mais) and legumes (except green beans) are carbs (or staples). Polenta is too, despite being made of mais.

    I thought that’s the default?

      In the US carb is not a base category of food its a broader category in which things which are themselves in in other categories belong. EG vegetable and grain are base categories like meat.

      I don’t know who downvoted that but it wasn’t me. I get where you’re coming from, but I think more in terms of the part of the plant I suppose.
