Understanding Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL)
When baking with alternative flours (gluten-free, grain-free), it's vital to realize that the impact on your blood sugar isn't just about the glycemic index.
What is the difference?
- Glycemic Index (GI): This is the speed at which the carbohydrates in a food are converted into glucose.
- Glycemic Load (GL): This is a more accurate measure because it takes into account the amount of carbohydrates actually present in a 100g serving.
Why blend your flours?
Using only white rice flour (GI 95) causes a massive insulin spike. By adding almond flour (GI 15) or chickpea flour (GI 35), you lower the overall average of your preparation.
Dolf.in Tip: Always aim for a Glycemic Load below 20 for your baked goods to maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.
