Befach Diet & Diabetic White Rice — GI 50, Lab-Validated Low-GI Sona Masoori

The number

The lowest GI rice in India

Tested at a NABL-accredited lab using the ISO 26642:2010 protocol. Befach Diet & Diabetic White Rice came in at GI = 50 — well inside the clinically "low" band (≤ 55).

Why this matters

A GI of 50 means a 30–40% lower glucose spike than regular white rice.

The Glycemic Index measures how fast a food raises blood glucose. Foods at GI ≤ 55 are classified as Low GI — the band diabetologists recommend for blood-sugar management. Befach Rice sits at 50, with 28.33% amylose (high) and slow-release starch that keeps your post-meal curve flat for hours.

Our story

A grain, considered.

Aged Telangana Sona Masoori paddy, processed for a low-glycemic response, served on the plates of 10 lakh+ Indian families. Watch the journey from field to fork.

Origin

From the paddy field

Befach Low-GI Rice was developed by agricultural scientists through pedigree breeding of multiple parent lines — Japonica (Japanese variety), Sona Masoori (Andhra), and many other Indian rice varieties. The result: a grain with a favourable nutrient profile and a unique starch arrangement that's associated with slower digestion and a naturally lower glycaemic response.

Engineered Every grain considered — high amylose, slow-release starch

Engineered, grain by grain

High amylose content (28.33%, Eurofins-tested) gives Befach Rice its slow-release starch profile. Tested at a NABL-accredited lab using ISO 26642:2010 — the lab certified GI = 50, firmly inside the clinically "low" band (≤ 55). Microscopic studies confirm the unique starch arrangement that slows digestion.

The why

Not a fad. A grain that behaves differently.

Three reasons Befach Diet & Diabetic White Rice keeps your curve flat where ordinary rice spikes.

High amylose (28.33%)

Eurofins-tested amylose content of 28.33 g/100g (ISO 6647-1). High-amylose rice digests slowly, releasing glucose gradually instead of all at once.

Glycemic Index of 50

The science, in plain language

How Befach Low‑GI Rice was developed & proven

Decades of agricultural breeding, an ethics‑approved human study at India's National Institute of Nutrition, and a 3‑month diabetes intervention — the long version of why this grain works.

How the rice was developed

Befach Low‑GI Rice was developed by agricultural scientists through pedigree breeding of multiple parent lines of different rice grains — Japonica (a Japanese rice variety), Sona Masoori (Andhra), and many other rice varieties available in India.

The grain offers a favourable nutrient profile, with slightly higher protein and niacin (vitamin B3) than commonly used South Indian rice varieties. Microscopic studies of the grain structure show a unique starch arrangement that is associated with slower digestion and a naturally lower glycaemic response.

How its low glycaemic index was proven

The glycaemic index (GI) of RNR 15048 — which we brand as Befach Low‑GI Rice — was measured in a human study at the National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR‑NIN), Hyderabad, under institutional ethics approval. 54 healthy adults consumed glucose (reference), regular white rice, and Befach Low‑GI Rice on different days, while their blood sugar was tracked for two hours after each meal.

Using standard GI calculations, Befach Rice showed a mean GI of 51.72 ± 3.39, placing it firmly in the low‑GI category (≤ 55) and significantly lower than ordinary white rice (GI ≈ 73). The current production batch was re‑tested in 2026 by UniQ Nutri Bio‑Sciences (NABL‑accredited, ISO 26642:2010) and certified at GI = 50.

What the diabetes study found

The same research group then ran a 3‑month dietary intervention in 80 adults with type 2 diabetes to see what happens when regular rice is replaced by Befach Low‑GI Rice. 40 participants switched completely to Befach Rice (their households were supplied with the rice), while a control group continued their usual rice.

In the Befach group, researchers observed significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (158 → 140 mg/dL) and HbA1c (7.06% → 6.09%), along with an increase in HDL ("good") cholesterol — without major changes in body weight or blood pressure. The authors concluded that Befach Low‑GI Rice can be a useful therapeutic diet option to help manage blood sugar and improve lipid profile in people with type 2 diabetes, when it replaces their regular rice.

Important: Befach Low‑GI Rice is not a medicine and does not replace your prescribed treatment. Always follow your doctor's advice for diabetes management.
