There are different kinds of root vegetables, such as taproots, which include carrots, beets, and turnips; tuberous roots, which include sweet potatoes, yams, and yucca; and modified plant stem tubers, which includes the common potato. Potatoes are very high in starch and have a high glycemic index. In fact, the only root vegetable with a higher glycemic index is parsnips. When a food has a high glycemic index that means the carbohydrates in potatoes are rapidly turned into sugar and absorbed into your blood.
