Dandelions are great for diabetics (5/10)

A cup of chopped dandelions contains only about five grams of carbohydrates, about 2% of the recommended daily value. They also contain one and a half grams of protein, which is 3% of the daily value, and they have a whopping 1.9 grams of fiber or 8% of the daily value. All of this gives them a glycemic load index of only 2, which is exceptionally low.
