S sue1959 Well-Known Member Messages 48 Feb 2, 2010 #1 Which is the best to eat? I usually have basmati rice once a week but was wondering if couscous would be better. I only have brown bread at breakfast with a boiled egg and no pototos or pasta with any meal. Any Ideas? Sue

They both rate the same on the gi scale, basmati rice is 58 and couscous is 61, both in the medium range. As you know, it all depends on portion size, best to test after eating to determine which impacts the most on your bg's. Nigel
