Absolutely no food gives me such consistently healthy blood sugar readings as borscht. Every diabetician I’ve talked to stares at me like I’m a moron when I start listing the ingredients: a crapton of potatoes, beets, carrots, tomato sauce. Cabbage, sour cream. Plus, I usually eat it with a large raw onion on the side. And I don’t eat small, dainty portions of borscht either.
But every time, it’s sensational blood sugar readings.
Genes are real, my friends. Borscht is medicine for Ukrainians.
Also, in what concerns high-carb things, I tolerate potatoes in modest quantities. But not a grain of rice or a couple of strands of spaghetti. Lentils are poison to me. Because potatoes are more natural to Ukraine than rice or lentils.
