I've just begun experimenting with root veggies like these, and they're all
delicious and make wonderful chips. They're so good I wonder if they can
really be low-carb. :)

Has anyone got a quick comparison chart of these vs each other and vs
potatoes? I don't want to dig through the whole of the Glycemic Load thingy.

This isn't a chart, but it is a fairly easy source to use:

There's a big difference between turnips and parsnips in that the former are
low-carb; the latter are not.

Ok, Mendosa had an article at http://www.mendosa.com/freefoods.htm on "Free
Foods" with a link to USDA charts.

Here's from my very rough search through the chart at
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR15/dnload/sr15dnld.html

Carbs Calories
