As per the worldwide table of the glycemic file (GI) and glycemic load (GL), the GL of thai rice is 37 (serving size = 150g). Hence, it is significant to eat only a few ketupat or steamed plain rice.
GI is positioning of carbs on a scale from 0 to 100, as per how they raise glucose levels in the wake of eating contrasted with white bread/glucose. Food varieties with a high GI are those which are quickly processed and bring about stamped vacillations in glucose levels.
