Peanuts (as purchased) 15

All of these values are approximate. The following vegetables may be
considered as falling into the "5%" group: Lettuce, string beans,
spinach, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, egg plant, cauliflower, tomatoes,
asparagus, cucumbers, beet greens, chard, celery, Sauerkraut, ripe
olives, kale, rhubarb, dandelions, endive, watercress, pumpkin,
sorrel, and radishes. As these various vegetables contain from 3 to 7%
carbohydrate, it will be seen that the value of 2-1/2 grams
carbohydrate for 1 tablespoonful of these vegetables raw, and 1 gram
for the same amount thrice boiled, is not accurate, but it is near
enough for practical purposes.
