🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Avocado – High in healthy fats, it can help slow the absorption of any carbs and keep you satiated.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Cucumber – Similar in texture with even lower carb content, helping to further minimize blood sugar impact.
• Bell peppers – Offers a variety of colors and flavors with a slightly higher fiber content, aiding in slower glucose absorption.
• Radishes – Crunchy with a spicy kick, radishes are low in carbohydrates and can add flavor without raising blood sugar significantly.

⏱ Blood Sugar Timeline

• 30–60 min: Blood sugar levels should remain stable if consumed as part of a balanced meal.
• 2–3 hr: No significant change in blood sugar levels expected from raw tomatoes alone.
