About This Calculation

Lemon Clementine Jelly has a high glycemic load of 42.3 per serving — significant blood sugar impact — consider pairing with protein and fiber, or adjusting portion size.

The primary glycemic load contributors are granulated sugar (GL 40.6), clementine juice (GL 1.1), lemon juice (GL 0.6). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.

Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
