Starch scores

Starch scores assess how quickly carbohydrates in foods are digested and absorbed, influencing blood sugar levels. A low starch score indicates slower digestion and a more gradual rise in blood sugar, which is beneficial for maintaining energy and managing diabetes. Conversely, a high starch score means rapid digestion, leading to quick spikes in blood sugar. These scores help people make informed dietary choices, especially those monitoring blood sugar, by understanding how different foods impact their body over time.
