How Long Does It Take to Digest Food

How about the digestion of vegetables?

Vegetables can take a bit longer to digest than fruit. However, lettuce, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, and other vegetables containing a lot of water will need just around 30 minutes to leave  “stomach land” behind. Cruciferous vegetables including kale, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. usually digest in 40 minutes. And then there are the slow ones: carrots, beetroot and other root vegetables are normally digested in about 50 minutes. What’s more, there are also starchy root vegetables, such as potatoes, which, along with butternut squash, artichokes, sweet potatoes, corn etc., take up to 60 minutes to digest.
