Low Glycemic Foods are foods that digest slowly so they don’t raise blood sugar levels as much as high glycemic foods.   They tend to have more protein, fat or complexity that slows down the digestion process.

People who have problems with high blood sugar, diabetes or pre-diabetes may benefit from introducing more low glycemic foods into their diet.
