Spices, cumin seed

Nutrition Facts & Diabetes Guide

Protein is a standout here at 18g per 100g. For blood sugar, protein alongside carbs is generally better than carbs alone. At 10g of fiber per 100g, Cumin seed is a real fiber source. Fiber slows carbohydrate absorption and supports steadier glucose. No ISO-tested GI value is published for cumin seed in the Sydney University GI tables, so GlycemicWise shows it as a Tier 5 nutrition reference rather than assigning a green/yellow/red verdict. For a swap with known glucose data, check the alternatives below — each one has a measured GL value.
