Instead of this
- GL 1 per 100 g With a GI of 15 and GL of 1, this provides a much more stable blood sugar response compared to the high-glycemic Lefse.
Almond flour roti - GL 1 per 100 g Using a leafy green wrap significantly lowers the glycemic load from 34 to 1, preventing sharp glucose spikes.
Large leafy greens (romaine or collard greens) - GL 2.7 per 100 g This swap offers a much lower glycemic impact (GL 2.7 vs 34) while maintaining a similar grain-based texture.
Flaxseed wrap - GL 4.2 per 100 g This is a lower-glycemic alternative (GI 35 vs 75) that serves as a functional, blood-sugar-friendly replacement for a wrap.
