Watermelon
तरबूज़ · పుచ్చకాయ
High GI but low GL per serving because it's mostly water. The numbers look scary but actual blood sugar impact is moderate in normal portions.
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
Despite high GI, the low GL makes it acceptable in moderate portions. Don't juice it — eat as whole fruit. Good example of why GL matters more than GI alone.
