Hello. My wife was planning of making home made tapioca pudding for christmas dinner desert. It has 3.5% milk and whipping cream for the liquids. Also using splenda brown sugar to sweeten. Does anyone know what the GI is of the tapioca its self? I will probably have some no matter what but don't want to go overboard.

Thanks.

People who think they know everything.
Tapioca is high GI at 85 and has 22 g of carbs per 100g. I used to love tapioca, semolina, rice and other milky puds but my BG absolutely shoots up when I eat any - but you might be different - some of us can tolerate things that others of us can't. Experiment on yourself - take your BG just before eating and then again at 1 hour and then 2 hours after eating. Good luck!

The dry pearls are 88 percent net carb, so I'd be rather careful about serving size.

You might consider chia pudding instead. There are lots of recipes out there for it.
