At the top of this forum is a sticky -
THE STARCH CONTENT OF FOODS - THE LIST
This information was extracted from Widdowson & McCance. If you read the first few posts you will get the background.
as far as i remember you posted somewhere that u have 3 editions of the book in your library.
Can you post an example or a scan about the complete food contains of some food? lets take garlic or banana's for example.
So that i can get the picture about the book and decide if it does worth the money and the proces of ordering it from UK?
