What is LOW GI ?

• The Glycemic Index (GI) is a ranking given
  to food to describe how quickly the Carbohydrate
  in the food is broken down and absorbed into the
  bloodstream.
• The GI scale ranges from 0 to 100.
• Foods with a high GI are quickly broken down and
  absorbed by the body and result in a
  rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
• Low GI foods are broken down and absorbed more
  slowly into the blood stream. They result in
  a steady rise in blood sugar and insulin levels.

Ice Creams and Gelatos
Applications Testings

• Ice Creams and Gelatos are the favorites of
  almost everyone irrespective of age and seasons.
  They are like the VIP treats to oneself. However,
  Diabetics and Pre-diabetics are not able to enjoy
  the simple pleasure of their favorite desserts.
  The reason is that these desserts are high in
  sugar (with high Glycemic index) and cause rapid
  blood sugar raise after consumption.

Many Ice cream Brands and Vendors have tried to
make diabetic friendly ice creams by using
Sugar-free and artificial sweeteners. But the
effort has largely been un-successful because of
the strange after taste and texture of the ice
creams made with these sweeteners. Many brands
have discontinued or restricted the diabetic
friendly varieties. Use of DIABEAT LOW GI SUGAR
can change this scenario. DIABEAT is LOW GI which
means it does not cause sudden blood sugar spikes
and since it is 100 Natural and is Cane sugar,
it has the natural color, taste and texture as of
normal sugar and goes very well with any variety
of ice creams and gelatos.

Beverages
Applications Testings

• It is the sweetness or the sugar that adds
  value to the taste of Beverages be it Juices,
  Squashes, Mock tails, Tea and Coffee. The
  Diabetics and Pre-diabetics have to compromise on
  this, as Sugar is treated as their enemy. The
  alternatives are the artificial sweeteners and
  sugar-free beverages which alter the taste and
  pose long term health risks.

This is where DIABEAT SUGAR comes of help. Now
one can use DIABEAT LOW GI SUGAR in the same way
as normal sugar without any side effect and
without rapid raise in blood glucose levels
after consumption. The beverages prepared with
DIABEAT sugar will have no variation in taste or
color when compared to normal sugar and hence, no
compromises required.

Indian Sweets
Applications Testings

• Sweets are the love of everyone. A
  celebration or a festival is not complete without
  a sweet on the platter. Even regular meals and
  dinners seem incomplete without a sweet dish.
  Mostly, the first question of a person diagnosed
  with diabetes is Cant I have sweets now?
• Many sweet makers have tried to come up
  with some diabetic friendly sweets using
  artificial sweeteners.

But they are not able to factor in the
successful parameters of taste, texture and range
using the sweeteners. Hence, the variety and
choice is restricted and so is the business. Use
of artificial sweeteners alters taste and poses
long term health risks. DIABEAT LOW GI SUGAR is a
solution to this problem. DIABEAT sugar can be
used like normal sugar and offers complete
flexibility to make any kind of sweets Indian,
Western, Eastern etc. without compromising on
taste, texture and range. These sweets can be
consumed by Diabetic, Pre-diabetic and even non
diabetic people.

Baked Goods
Applications Testings

• Most Bakery items like Bread, Cookies, Pastries,
  Pies, Buns, Pizzas etc. are made with Flours and
  Sugars which are of high Glycemic index. Hence
  they are not diabetic friendly. OVERRA Foods have
  DIAFLOUR A multi-grain flour, Whole Wheat Atta,
  Maida and DIABEAT Sugar which are of low GI
  (lt45) and are ideal for making baked foods.

The DIAFLOUR offers good nutrition due to the
proteins and fibers in the flour. DIABEAT Sugar
is 100 natural sugar without any bitter taste
and does not alter the texture of any
preparations. A wide variety of baked goods can
be made with DIABEAT Sugar and DIAFLOUR. For
those with Gluten allergy, OVERRA offers GLUTEN
FREE FLOUR too which is of good taste and can be
used in preparation of gluten free variety of
baked goods
