Karnataka farmers cultivate rice tailored for diabetics

Tumkur: In a groundbreaking move, farmers in the Tumkur district in Karnataka are cultivating a new variety of rice, ‘RNR-15048’, specifically tailored for diabetics concerned about the impact of white rice on their health.

This innovative rice variety boasts a low ‘Glycemic Index’ (GI), a crucial metric for foods containing carbohydrates. Compared to conventional rice, including popular types like Sona Masuri, RNR-15048 exhibits a lower GI of 51.5%, as opposed to the typical 56.5%.
