Container plants with low glycemic index (GI)?

Does anyone have recommendations of edible plants that grow well in containers and have a low glycemic index/load?

Currently, I only have access to a 8' x 10' space in which to raise a container garden. Fortunately, I am in zone 8 and this space typically gets direct sunlight 9am-7pm (i.e., more fruit possiblities). Due to dietary restrictions, I must focus on low glycemic index (GI) or low glycemic load (GL) foods.

I have been focusing on fruits, and it seems these would do best in my area (although the selection will have to be narrowed due to the small, open-air space):

Blackberry

Blueberry, Rabbiteye

Cherry, Surinam

Key Lime

Meyer Lemon

Raspberries, Everbearing

Strawberry

Any suggestions at all would be greatly apprecated!
