Of course it is impossible to list every food. Use these lists as guides to learn which kinds of food have a high index and which kinds of food have a low index, then you should be able to predict the Glycaemic Index for foods that are not included here. These are approximate values as they can vary, especially among different varieties of fresh fruit and vegetables
