What is resistant starch?

Resistant starch passes through the small intestine without being fully digested and is fermented by bacteria in the large intestine. It acts similarly to fermentable fibre and may support beneficial gut bacteria.

Heating potato starch greatly reduces its resistant-starch content.

Suggested uses

Use it to thicken soups, sauces, gravies and custards, or add it to gluten-free breads, cakes, muffins and biscuits. It is also ideal for creating crispy coatings on vegetables, chicken or fish.

For resistant starch, add a small amount to cold smoothies, yoghurt or overnight oats. Introduce it gradually, as larger amounts may cause gas or bloating.
