With everything “Low GI” being a necessity for weight control these days, and the popular potato being a high GI food item, the day that a Low GI Potato was available had to come soon.

• Carisma potatoes have a GI of 55
• Marfona potatoes have a GI of 56
• Pontiac potatoes have a GI of 56
• Nicola potatoes have a GI of 58

The average GI for most Australian potatoes is 77, with some being much higher. Some common potatoes are:

• Sebago GI 87
• Desiree GI 77

When looking at the GI content of any food item, it is essential to note the cooking method, as this may alter the figure.
An example of one variety is:

GI ratings

• 56 Gi: Pontiac potato, peeled, boiled whole for 30 min
• 79 Gi: Pontiac potato, peeled and microwave on high
• 88 Gi: Pontiac potato, peeled, boiled 35 min
