Why Cooled Overnight Rice May Reduce Blood Sugar Spikes

Cooling cooked rice overnight can increase its resistant starch content. This may lower its glycaemic impact compared with freshly cooked rice and help reduce sharp blood sugar spikes.

Portion size still matters, especially for people managing diabetes or weight. Other fridge tips include using natural flavours instead of excess salt and freezing herbs, spices and bread properly.
