Glycemic index of dates: 40 or 100? edit

According to several GI tables, dates go as high as 100.

According to others, they go as low as 38.

Which is it then? Gil_mo (talk) 22:04, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Glycemic index

The glycemic index of dates seems to vary from ~30 to over 100 depending on variety, preparation, and reference standard [1][2]. The 100 figure comes from Australian dried dates, which is a far higher GI than the other varieties. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:20, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
