Why does rice have such a high glycemic index?

Asked by 2davidc8 (10189points) March 18th, 2018

The nutrition label on my bag of rice says that the rice has 0g sugar. It does have 37g carbohydrates. But I figure that these are complex carbs, and would take longer to get converted into the simple sugars that raise the blood sugar level. So why is the glycemic index of rice so high?
