Low GI Rice | Kalanamak Variety

Low GI Rice | Kalanamak Variety

The Kala Namak rice variety, grown in the foothills of the Himalayan ranges, carries a natural aroma and earthy flavor that sets it apart from the more commercialized grains we’re used to. Because it’s unpolished, it retains its full nutritional profile, the bran, fiber, and micronutrients that contribute to its low glycemic index and make it a significantly better choice for people managing diabetes. Despite looking small and almost understated when raw, the grain swells generously when cooked, turning light, fluffy, and full-bodied. Its natural fragrance fills the kitchen, and when used in something as simple as khichdi, it delivers both comfort and control: the soothing taste of rice, with the metabolic gentleness of a low-GI food.

We used to have stony ambemohar rice before

2 weeks before my husband got his CGM patch to get real time updates of his sugar levels

To our surprise ambemohar rice also was giving him spike like beyond 140

Though the spike was not sharp but we were concerned

As we are from Andhra, rice is a must for us

We tried brown rice, red rice and black rice from other brands but didn’t get satisfactory results

So doctor advised him to have salad with much veggies, fibre for slower sugar release

With salad first and rice later, his sugar levels stabilised like in the range of 130mg/dL-140mg/dL

When we tried low GI rice, to our surprise his sugar levels didn’t even touch 120mg/dL post meal

Feels light on your gut.. doesn’t put you in slump unlike the normal rice.. has a very nice aroma and soft texture
