[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2296043, member: 527609"] Well this is very strange. If I Google carbs in basmati, it does indeed give a figure of 77g per 100g of product. When I look at the carbs on the packet of basmati that I actually have, the figure is 25.1g. There's only 1.3g of fibre, so even that isn't enough to account for the difference. So I took a very close look at the small print, and the figures on my packet are 'per 100g, as consumed.' Apparently 75g of uncooked rice makes approximately 235g of cooked rice. Now the figures start to make more sense. That makes the carbs around 78g per 100g in the dry product. So we are now looking at just over 100g of fast release carbs in the 125g of dry weight rice that was my share of the dish. No wonder it spiked me. This is actually a massive relief, because I was trying to work out how just over 30g of carbs had upset my BS to such a degree. Now to see if I can significantly reduce that hit by par-boiling and draining. I think it's still worth doing as an experiment, and it's not as though it took me to worryingly high levels, last time.
