Cabbage has a GI of 10 – anything less than 55 is considered low. Which means cabbage, like most fibrous veggies, is mega-low. We made this pizza and shared it with some teenagers. It got the stamp of approval. And it lasted a few days because just one serving is HUGE. Delicious and the perfect pizza pie for managing your insulin resistance.
