What it is

Resistant starch is a type of fiber that acts like starch but resists digestion in the small intestine. It is found naturally in some foods like green bananas, cooked and cooled potatoes, and legumes. It can also be added to foods during processing.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add resistant starch to foods to increase their fiber content, which can help with digestive health. It can also be used to improve the texture and mouthfeel of products. It is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, and nutritional supplements.

Health notes

Resistant starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It functions as a prebiotic fiber, feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut. JECFA has evaluated resistant starch and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Some research suggests potential benefits for blood sugar control and satiety, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

Resistant starch is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
