Glycemic Index of a Novel High-Fiber White Rice Variety Developed in India—A Randomized Control Trial Study

White rice, a common Indian staple, has a high glycemic response and is associated with high risk of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the Glycemic Index (GI) of a newly developed high-fiber white rice (HFWR) with that of commercial white rice (WR).HFWR was developed using biochemical screening approaches and classical plant breeding techniques. The GI of HFWR was determined using a validated protocol in 30 healthy...
