Glycemic Index (GI) tells you how fast a particular carbohydrate-enriched food raises your blood sugar.

• It is indicated by the number (from 0 to 100) that shows how quickly a food raises your blood sugar after eating
• Foods are compared to pure glucose, which has a GI of 100.
• The higher the GI, the faster your blood sugar goes up.
• But it does not consider how much amount of food you have consumed.
