The only thing that matters is your own reaction, which is more important than the number of carbs or the glycemic rank. There does seem to be something special about chana dal for most people though. It makes no sense that it would be different from chick peas, but it is.

I would no longer eat the barley because of the gluten, but I enjoyed chana dal, although I have trouble keeping the portions small.

She is the diabetes expert who recommends a low-carb diet, so perhaps this corn is safer for those with blood sugar issues. She also suggested tepary beans, grown my the native Americans in the SW. <br /><br />Please report back on your results after you've tried the corn.
