Popcorn's glycemic index and nutritional value

[BTBB]

Ive searched a few glycemic index lists on the net for popcorn..but none of them seem to agree with each other.

Does any1 know what it actually is?

Also, can any1 tell me how many carbs there are in a set portion of uncooked popcorn seeds?

thnx

I cant find much on dry corn macronutrient breakdown, but there is this on the usda database

USDA database

the GI of popcorn has a varied thing.

There is two decent GI measures on popcorn (both air popped, but two different australian brands (green foods, Uncle Tobys)
The first has a 55gi (against glucose=100) and the other showing 89.
So, the gi will be somewhere around there.

55 gi is pretty good, and 89 eaten with pro anf fat = low gi
