The portion weights come from the USDA household measures for this food. A cup is a US measuring cup, about 240 ml. Carb units = carbs of the portion ÷ 10, 12 or 15 g. Glycemic load = GI × carbs of the portion ÷ 100. Glycemic load needs a measured GI. This food has no measured GI, so the glycemic load row shows “no data”.
Glycemic index
No data
The 2021 international GI tables do not include this food. 100 g contains only 3.9 g of carbs. GI is measured with a portion that contains 25 g or 50 g of carbs. For this reason, low-carb foods are rarely measured.
