General public especially diabetics have a notion that rice should not be eaten, as it’s glycemic index value is high. However to identify whether it is of low GI or high GI, its glycemic value should be estimated. In the present study glycemic index was estimated for selected popular varieties of rice viz Srikakulam sannalu (RGL-2537) and Pre-released (RGL-11226) rice variety. | Estimation of glycemic index of popular and pre-released rice varieties of north coastal zone Andhra Pradesh India
