The glycemic index indicates how fast a carbohydrate (starch and sugars) is assimilated in the blood. Fast assimilation causes a rapid supply of energy, which disrupts the balance of glucose in the blood. Slow assimilation will cause a gentle and steady supply that keeps the amount of amount of glucose in the blood more or less the same. This results in a less direct conversion of sugar into fat. Also, there is no “dip” because the body runs out of glucose during activities and the recovery after such an activity is much better.

Teff contains a large percentage of fibers (8%). These also contribute to lowering the glycemic index.
