What is the glycemic index, or GI?

The glycemic index is a number that classifies foods according to the effect they have on increasing blood sugar when ingested. The foods are compared with the reference food, which has a set glycemic index of 100. Most commonly, the selected reference food is glucose solution. Higher glycemic index indicates the higher increase of blood sugar levels.
