Great Taste - Low GI

My personal experience with black rice from TWOB has been quite satisfying. It is a much healthier option to white rice considering its low glycemic index and load. Being a borderline diabetic I monitor my glucose continuously through Libre3 CGM. The glucose spike post consuming this rice was v well regulated. Cheers
