What is Glycemic Index (GI)?
The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar levels.
Foods are ranked on a scale from 0 to 100:
Why it matters:
High GI foods cause quick spikes and crashes in blood sugar, leaving you feeling tired and hungry. Low GI foods help you stay fuller for longer, keep energy levels steady, and support better long- term health.
Why Low GI Rice is a Game-Changer
Rice is a staple for millions, but traditional varieties often have a high GI. This means they can cause rapid sugar spikes — not ideal for people concerned about diabetes, weight management, or sustained energy.
Low GI rice is specially bred and processed to release sugar more slowly, helping you enjoy rice without the sugar rush.
