Orange (Santra)
संतरा · నారింజ
Citrus fruit rich in vitamin C. Low GI due to its fiber and acid content which slow glucose absorption.

Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Always eat whole — orange juice has a much higher GI (50+) because the fiber is removed. The acidity of citrus naturally lowers glycemic response.
