Abstract
These results showed that WCBA had low vegetable consumption, including starchy vegetables, compared with recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2015-2020. Potassium and DF intakes were low among WCBA, but especially so for NHB WCBA and WCBA with limited financial resources. Government-sponsored food assistance programs should consider policies that encourage WCBA to consume more vegetables, including starchy vegetables, such as WP and lima beans that are rich in K and an important source of DF.
