Glycemic Index(GI) of Rice:
The GI is a scale that ranks carbohydrates by how much they raise blood glucose level
as compared to a certain standard. The standard is set at 100 for Glucose intake. Carbohydrate sources that produce a high glycemic index value will have a high, rapid rise in blood glucose and a rapid insulin response after consumption. Carbohydrates producing a low GI value have a low and prolonged rise in blood glucose.
Our Parboiled Rice has a GI of 38 whereas normal White Rice has a GI of 70 almost twice as much.
