What is GI (Glycemic Index)?

The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly a food causes our blood sugar to rise.

  • High GI foods (i.e. white bread & traditional desserts) cause rapid spikes in blood sugar.
  • Low GI foods (i.e. vegetables & wholegrains) are digested more slowly, leading to a gentler, more stable increase in blood sugar.

Why Low GI Matters?

Low GI foods are more than just “diabetic-friendly."

They support your health on multiple levels:

✅ More stable blood sugar levels
✅ Reduced cravings and energy crashes
✅ Better weight and appetite management
✅ Improved heart health and cholesterol levels
✅ Enhanced mental clarity and sustained energy

🍬 Understanding Sweeteners

Not all sugar alternatives are the same — some raise your blood sugar, some leave an aftertaste, and others are better suited for desserts like ours.

Here’s how common sweeteners and sugars compare:

💡 Why We Use Allulose & Erythritol

At Nuvojoy, we have chosen a proven blend of natural, low GI sweeteners that deliver on both taste and science:

  • Allulose: A rare sugar with 70% of the sweetness of sugar, virtually no calories, and no aftertaste.
  • Erythritol: A sugar alcohol naturally found in fruits that doesn’t affect blood glucose and is also tooth-friendly.

We also include Inulin, a prebiotic fiber that’s mildly sweet. It supports gut health and helps with blood sugar control — but it’s not a sweetener.

These ingredients give us just the right level of sweetness — without any weird aftertaste.
