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]
