Brief Answer:
High Glycemic index

Detailed Answer:
Good day
Noted your point. Rava is mainly made up of maida which has no fiber in it. It has high glycemic index and can rise the blood sugar faster. You may use small quantities with vegetables in it. In that way the sugar level may not rise fast.
