glycemic index potatoes vs rice
A 150-g serving of boiled red potatoes has a glycemic index value of 89, 21 g of carbohydrate per serving and a glycemic load of 19. Because rice and potatoes are high in carbohydrates that have a significant effect on blood sugar, they have a high glycemic load, as well as a high glycemic index.
The glycemic load combines the glycemic index value of a food with the amount of carbohydrates in that food to determine that foodâs glycemic potency. A 150-g, or 1.5-cup, serving of boiled white rice has a glycemic index value of 83, 36 g of carbohydrate per serving and a glycemic load of 30.
