The glycemic index (GI) is a scale from 0 to 100 that ranks how fast and high carbohydrate foods raise blood sugar levels compared to pure glucose (which is scored at 100).
Low-GI foods digest slowly for steady blood sugar, while high-GI foods cause rapid spikes.
GI Ratings and Categories:
Low GI (1–55): Slow blood sugar rise; examples include lentils, chickpeas, apples, and skim milk.
Medium GI (56–69): Moderate response; examples include whole wheat bread, basmati rice, and bananas.
High GI (70–100): Rapid blood sugar spike; examples include white bread, white rice, and baked potatoes
