Whereas glycemic index is defined for each type of food, glycemic load can be calculated for any size serving of a food, an entire meal, or an entire day's meals. [citation needed] Glycemic load of a 100 g serving of food can be calculated as its carbohydrate content measured in grams (g), multiplied by the food's GI, and divided by 100.

Not all rice has a high glycemic index. Basmati rice, for example, has a relatively low glycemic index of 59. However ...
