Summary
This completed study looked at how dried Saskatoon berries and their powder affect blood sugar levels in 10 healthy adults. Participants ate the berries or powder, and their blood sugar was measured over two hours. The goal is to determine the glycemic index of these berry products, which could help people make better food choices for blood sugar control.
