New research around a certain kind of carb, called “resistant starch,” suggests that they could be a key way to help control weight. <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> When we eat ...

When starch is cooked in water and then cooled it changes shape. The new structure is resistant to enzymes in our body and so can’t be digested- it’s known as ‘resistant starch’.

And it’s even better if you re-heat things like pasta, rice and potatoes – and make sure everything, especially the rice, is piping hot - this further increases the resistant starch content.

Many of the starch granules exhibited signs of enzymatic degradation and gelatinization, which are characteristic of fermentation processes. In addition, the study uncovered abundant fungal ...
