Quinoa has a glycemic index score of 53, based on a 150-gram serving, or a little less than 1 cup of cooked quinoa.

The Glycemic Index is a measure of how fast a food raises the blood-sugar level as compared to table sugar or white bread. The higher the Glycemic Index value a food has, the faster the blood-sugar level is raised. The amount of fiber found in a food greatly lowers its Glycemic Index score. White bread, for example, which contains almost no fiber, rates high on the Glycemic Index, while fiber-rich whole-grain bread has a much lower score. Dietary fiber consists of an intricate grouping of carbohydrates found in plant- based foods.
