Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Sprouting before cooking lowers the GI further and boosts vitamin C; steam lightly rather than over-boiling to retain texture and nutrients.
