Glycemic Index Help
GI and freezing of dried foods, particularly legumes.?
Hello, I was wondering whether or not dried legumes that have been dry frozen (as their moisture is very low, they can't become frosted or suffer from cold burns) would have a lesser amount of resistant starch when cooked? I've heard that rice, because of it's easily accesible starch, has a high glycemic index. Does freezing play a part in GI of a food? Thanks, Av

- Freezing legumes will have no effect on their glycemic index. I do not believe freezing will have an effect on any food. White rice has a high number, but brown rice is much lower and healthier for you. Brown rice also takes twice as long to cook as white rice.
