Top 10 lowest GI fruits
1. Cherries – Cherries are the lowest GI fruit of all with a score of just 22. They are also high in fibre and they contain protein, which means that a portion of cherries is the perfect afternoon snack as they will keep you full without raising your blood sugar.2. Grapefruit – Most citrus fruits are low on the glycaemic index and grapefruit is the lowest of all, with a score of 25 – another reason why grapefruit makes an excellent breakfast!
3. Apples – Apples are also fairly low on the GI, with a score of 38. They are naturally high in fibre and low in sugar, making them a great snacking choice.
4. Pears – Pears are just as good for you as apples – they also have a score of 38, and are also high in fibre and low in sugar.
5. Plums – Plums are a great fruit as you can serve them in so many different ways – and the bonus is, they are low on the glycaemic index with a score of 39.
6. Peaches – Peaches are fairly sweet, so it may be surprising that they are fairly low on the glycaemic index – with a score of 42, a snack of a few peaches will ward off hunger pangs without causing a blood sugar spike.
7. Oranges – Oranges are fairly low on the GI, with a score of 44. However, it is only oranges that have a score of 44 – clementines and tangerines have a higher GI score as they are sweeter.
8. Grapes – Because grapes are naturally sweet, you might be surprised to find out that they are considered to be a low GI food with a score of 49.
9. Kiwi Fruit – Kiwi fruit is one of my favourite fruits as it is sweet and very flavourful – and it still makes the cut as a low GI fruit, with a score of 53.
10. Banana – Bananas are the ultimate in fast food – they are healthy, full of fibre and other vitamins and they are still considered a low GI fruit, with a score of 54.
