Glycemic index

The glycemic index is a measure of how quickly carbohydrates in food raise blood sugar levels. Foods with a high glycemic index are rapidly digested and absorbed, causing blood sugar levels to spike, while foods with a low glycemic index are digested more slowly, resulting in a gradual rise in blood sugar. Low-glycemic-index foods are often recommended for people with diabetes or those trying to lose weight.
