nutritional Improvements: carbohydrates and glycaemic index

Our solutions are developed to take advantage of the nutritional potential of protein-rich oilseeds.

Carbohydrates and glycaemic index

Carbohydrates are our body’s main source of energy but they are not all the same. The glycaemic index makes it possible to classify food depending on its capacity to raise blood sugar. A high index is associated with more imbalances, an increase in chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.) whereas a lower index is generally more filling.

Flax is naturally low in carbohydrates (less than 5%) and therefore has a very low glycaemic index, all the more so because of its richness in fibres. When combined with more traditional flours, it reduces the glycaemic index of these flours, which are rich in carbohydrates but already low in sugars.
