A recent human clinical trial confirmed that Huckleberry Gold, a potato variety developed by the Tri-State Breeding Program and managed by the Potato Variety Management Institute, has a low glycemic index. This study builds on earlier research conducted at Montana State University, which identified Huckleberry Gold as a promising low-glycemic potato based on its starch composition.
In the new study, Huckleberry Gold demonstrated a glycemic index of 52. Foods classified as low GI (≤55) can be good options for individuals managing blood sugar levels, including those with diabetes, pre-diabetes or metabolic health concerns.
Huckleberry Gold is available through select seed growers and retailers.
