GI Value For Jelly (Jam)Food: Strawberry Jam Note: The Glycemic Index (GI), which supercedes the older classification of carbs into "simple" and "complex", classifies carbohydrate in foods according to its immediate effect on blood glucose levels. The basic categories are high-GI foods (GI value 70+); Intermediate GI foods (GI value 56-69) and Low-GI foods (GI value 55 or less). If you have insulin insensitivity, diabetes or any associated conditions, choose lower GI foods for optimum blood glucose control.
