Managing Blood Sugar

"For an extra boost of flavor and nutrients, you can add other low-GI vegetables like okra or eggplant. Ensure the bangus is fresh for the best taste. Using brown rice instead of white rice significantly lowers the overall glycemic impact of the meal."

Ideal for stabilizing after-meal spikes
