                                The American Diabetes Association lists carrots as a non-starchy vegetable, a classification that may surprise those who mistakenly believe this root vegetable is high in starch. The truth is, while carrots do contain carbohydrates, they are predominantly made of water and fiber, making them a low-calorie, nutrient-dense addition to any healthy nutrition diet.
