- GL 1 per 100 g Swapping to cauliflower rice drastically reduces the glycemic load from 36 to 1, providing a much flatter blood sugar response.
Finely chopped cauliflower (cauliflower rice) - GL 12.6 per 100 g Lentils offer a significantly lower glycemic load of 7 compared to 36, while adding fiber and protein to stabilize blood sugar.
Lentils (raw) - GL 11 per 100 g Quinoa provides a more moderate glycemic load of 11, making it a much steadier energy source than the high-GI Chigumu.
Cooked Quinoa - GL 12 per 100 g Barley is a heartier grain choice with a glycemic load of 12, which is much easier on your blood sugar levels than the original choice.
