Abstract

Background: Both wheat pasta and dry beans have low glycaemic indices (GIs). However, it has been shown that several factors, including method of processing, may influence the GI of a food. Extrusion of dry beans is a relatively new dry cooking process and provides a convenient alternative to the ingestion of dry beans.
