Glycemic Index (GI) is the ability of a particular food to raise the blood glucose levels. It is more to do with the quality of carbohydrate than its quantity.
Rice with low GI is said to help people lose and control weight and increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. High GI carbohydrates are rapidly digested and absorbed, causing blood glucose levels to rise to high levels rapidly, and drop off quickly, he said.
A recent study in Toronto, Canada, concluded that Moolgiri Rice has a GI value of 54.1. Glycemic Index values less than or equal to 55 are considered low GI.
The product is being exported to Australia, New Zealand, Dubai and US.
