Sweet Potato
If you are in search of naturally sweetened foods that you can add to your low-glycemic diet list, sweet potato should be top of the list. Boiled sweet potatoes have a relatively low glycemic index of 44 and a glycemic load of 11. Although sweet potatoes contain carbohydrates that can raise blood sugar levels when the right and adequate portion is eaten, the amount of sugar taken in can be controlled. Many a time, the glycemic content of food depends on how it is prepared. Sweet potatoes that are said to have low glycemic can become high in glycemic when baked. [7]
