rice cakes and Gi index

[Jerry_Egg]

does anyone knows whether rice cakes are hi GI carbs or low? all the rice cakes i found are made from brown rice...so does this make them low GI?

they are like a medium, because the brown rice, but then out of the 11 grams like 2 are from simple type carbs (sugars)-- but are definatly NOT something i eat unless training for a show, which i do for 1/2 the yerar usualy, get sick of them, lol, have a bag in cupboard since may
