Rank the following foods from lowest (1) to highest (4) glycemic index. carrots baked potatokidney beans white rice lowest highest

To rank these foods in the amount of sugars, I will first explain the index I will use, which is called the glycemic index. This index is based on the classification of carbohydrate-rich foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels, popularly known as blood sugar.

The higher the glycemic index, the easier the food is digested and absorbed in the gut, increasing the glycemia. Thus, the foods were divided into 3 categories:

Low IG: 55 or less

Average IG: 56 - 69

High IG: 70 or more

Based on this, the lowest to highest glycemic level food ranks as follows: beans, liver, carrots, white rice and baked potatoes.
