The Glycemic Index (GI) is a numerical scale (0–100) that ranks carbohydrates based on how quickly they raise blood glucose levels after eating. Foods with a high GI value are digested and absorbed quickly, causing a rapid spike in blood sugar, while those with a low GI release glucose more gradually, providing sustained energy and better blood sugar control.

This tool is designed specifically to help users understand the GI values of over 100 common Indian foods, from traditional meals like idli and chapati to snacks and sweets like jalebi and halwa. It is ideal for individuals who are managing diabetes, aiming for weight loss, or simply striving for healthier eating habits.

   • High GI (≥ 70) – Rapid spike in blood glucose.

The result box also changes color to visually indicate the GI category:

• Green for Low GI

• Orange for Mid-range GI
