All Foods Database

Our searchable food database makes it easy to find glycemic index values. Simply use the search bar to type any food name or category. The database instantly filters 579+ foods showing GI values, glycemic load, calories, carbs, protein, and complete nutrition facts. You can browse all foods or search specifically for items relevant to your diabetes meal planning needs.

Our comprehensive glycemic index database contains 579+ foods with complete nutrition data including GI values, glycemic load (GL), calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, and more. Each food entry in the database is research-backed with data from the University of Sydney GI Database and scientific studies. The database covers all major food categories from fruits and vegetables to grains, dairy, and proteins.

Yes, our food database supports searching by both food names and categories. Type category names like 'fruits', 'grains', 'dairy', or 'vegetables' to filter the database by food groups. Each food card displays its GI classification (low, medium, or high) and you can browse through the paginated database results. For advanced filtering by GI ranges, use our dedicated GI Range pages or Calculator tool.

Each food entry in our database includes comprehensive nutrition data: glycemic index (GI) value, glycemic load (GL) per 100g, calories, total carbohydrates, protein, fat, dietary fiber, sugar content, and serving size recommendations. The database also categorizes foods by GI level (low ≤55, medium 56-69, high ≥70) with color-coded indicators to help diabetics quickly identify suitable food choices for blood sugar management.

Yes, our food database is highly reliable for diabetic meal planning. All glycemic index values are sourced from peer-reviewed research, primarily the University of Sydney GI Database - the world's most authoritative GI resource. The database follows international GI testing standards using real human subjects, not estimates. This makes our searchable database a trusted tool for diabetes management, blood sugar control, and evidence-based dietary decisions.

Our food database is regularly updated as new glycemic index research is published. We monitor the latest GI studies from the University of Sydney, academic journals, and international diabetes organizations to add newly tested foods to the database. Currently featuring 579+ foods, the database continues to grow as more foods undergo standardized GI testing. Check back regularly for database updates and new food additions.

Absolutely! The food database is perfect for comparing glycemic index values across different foods. Search the database for similar foods (e.g., 'rice' or 'bread') to see GI values side-by-side. Each food card in the database displays the GI value with color-coded classification. For detailed side-by-side comparisons with nutrition breakdowns, use our dedicated Compare tool which pulls data from the same comprehensive food database.

Yes, our food database includes glycemic index values for foods in various preparation states where data is available. Many database entries specify cooking methods (e.g., 'boiled', 'baked', 'raw') because preparation significantly affects GI values. For example, the database shows different GI values for raw carrots vs cooked carrots, or pasta cooked al dente vs well-done. Always check the specific food entry in the database for preparation details.
