Was reading an article about rice and it seems that black rice has a "low" GI of 35. Anyone tried it - and maybe tested against a CGM or finger prick?
Have you tried it?Too many carbs and it’s not that nice to eat - (in my opinion)
Yes a few times in my past before T2, that’s how I know it’s not nice to eatHave you tried it?
Yes high in carbs, but the figure is uncooked. I can usually tolerate about a 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice. Maybe this will work better for me. I enjoy chewy rice too which I suspect this is.
Ha ok.. maybe i'll buy a smaller quantity to give it a go mixed into a salad or something. I'm thinking that to have such a low GI for the carb count, it must be full of fibre.Yes a few times in my past before T2, that’s how I know it’s not nice to eatI’m a chef by trade so have tasted most things, it’s more than chewy it’s crunchy and quite chalky - the best way to eat it is in a mix of rices & grains - not very palatable on its own
Yes it’s very fibre dense to the point I would go very easy on it to start with, it can give you tummy troubles, having it sprinkled on a salad sounds like a nice idea if your going to give it a tryHa ok.. maybe i'll buy a smaller quantity to give it a go mixed into a salad or something.

Good question. I wonder why it has such a low GI then. Perhaps the fibre content somehow changes once it is cooked? Resistant/retrograded starch? The above nutrients are for uncooked product. Gonna try it if I come across some of this rice at a good price.Eating 75 grams of carbs to get 2.2 grams of fibre inside you seems counterproductive to me.
