Could you tell me what are foods that are low in glycemic index?

Glycemic index: Is measure of how fast a food will raise the blood sugar when eaten. Fruits like bananas, grapes etc have high glycemic index and raise bs quickly compared to foods with lower glycemic index like sweet potatos high fiber foods, etc. You should be able to find a book or list on the internet of low glycemic foods.

Does blending food raise its glycemic index

Yes.: Blenderizing food breaks down cell walls and causes the straches or sugars to be quickly absorbed, increasing glycemic index. Example from low to high: apple with peel; apple sauce; apple juice.
