7 Star Chakki Atta Foods Proven Low-GI in Peradeniya University Study 🌾
An independent study by the University of Peradeniya confirms that staple foods made with Serendib Flour Mills' 7 Star Chakki Atta fall within the low Glycemic Index (GI) range, offering scientific validation for healthier dietary choices in Sri Lanka's food processing and health & nutrition sectors. • Key Research Findings • Tested foods recorded low standalone GI values: roti at 44, chapati at 45, and puri at 50. • Portions demonstrated moderate Glycemic Load (GL) values between 16 and 19, indicating a steady, sustained release of energy. • Preparation variations had minimal impact on glycemic response. • Meal Pairing Dynamics • Combining atta-based foods with chickpea curry further reduced GI values. • Adding chickpea curry dropped the GI of roti from 44 down to 37, reinforcing the benefit of balanced meal combinations for glucose management. • Economic & National Impact • Addresses a critical gap in local nutritional data as Sri Lanka faces rising Type 2 diabetes rates. • Supports consumer demand for preventive health and strengthens product positioning in the national FMCG market.
