The Claim
Freezing boiled lentil puree does not significantly alter its effect on postprandial glycemic response compared to freshly prepared boiled lentil puree, as measured by glycemic index and incremental area under the curve.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Frozen boiled lentil puree produces the same blood sugar response after eating as freshly made boiled lentil puree.
See the scientific wording
Freezing boiled lentil puree has minimal impact on its ability to reduce postprandial glycemic response, as frozen boiled lentil puree (FLP) showed similar glycemic index and incremental area under the curve to freshly prepared boiled lentil puree (BLP), suggesting frozen lentil products retain their glycemic benefits.
The fibrous outer layers of lentils and their protein content form a physical barrier that keeps starch from being broken down quickly, so glucose enters the bloodstream slowly and steadily instead of spiking.
What the research says
1 studyFreezing boiled lentil puree doesn’t make it spike blood sugar more than fresh lentil puree — it still helps keep blood sugar low after eating, just like the fresh version.
