- GL 1 per 100 g Cauliflower rice offers a massive reduction in glycemic load (from 45 to 1), making it the most effective choice for blood sugar stability.
Finely chopped cauliflower (cauliflower rice) - GL 12.6 per 100 g Lentils provide a significantly lower glycemic load (7 vs 45) and add fiber and protein to slow glucose absorption.
Lentils (raw) - GL 20 per 100 g Pearl barley has a much lower glycemic load (20 vs 45) and provides a heartier texture similar to rice while being more blood-sugar friendly.
Pearl barley - GL 22 per 100 g Bulgur wheat is a fiber-rich grain alternative that cuts the glycemic load by more than half compared to Himalayan rice.
