Potatoes - is there a healthy option??
« on: January 10, 2012, 08:17:43 am »
Has anyone heard of low gi carisma potatoes?? I'm reading a recipe which calls for them and I've never heard of them. Where could I buy such a spud?

I've never heard of those... But sweet potato has a lower GI (and are readily available)...

Thanks Kulsha. We use sweet potato all the time, I love it!! But when this recipe called for Carisma potatoes I was a little intrigued!

Thanks thermo18. Will check out Coles tomorrow :)
