Foods Ranked by Carbohydrate Density (A Practical Glycemic Guide)

True glycemic index is measured in a lab against a reference food and was not part of the testing behind this encyclopedia — so rather than presenting numbers we do not have, this page ranks foods by carbohydrate density (grams of carbohydrate per 100g), which is closely related and still useful for comparing foods at a glance. For the safety ratings that were actually lab-tested here, see the portion table on each food's own page.

Introduction

True glycemic index is measured in a lab against a reference food and was not part of the testing behind this encyclopedia — so rather than presenting numbers we do not have, this page ranks foods by carbohydrate density (grams of carbohydrate per 100g), which is closely related and still useful for comparing foods at a glance. For the safety ratings that were actually lab-tested here, see the portion table on each food's own page.

Why This Matters

After a meal, carbohydrate is broken down to glucose and absorbed into the blood; insulin then helps move it into cells. Foods that release glucose slowly produce a smaller, steadier rise. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the past three months. It is the anchor for the three control levels used throughout this site.
