What is potato resistant starch?
Starch is a carbohydrate consisting of lots of sugar or glucose branches. In plants, starch is their energy store. That's why many foods naturally contain it. You'll probably remember testing for starch at school using a sliced potato and iodine.
Potatoes, and other starchy foods, actually contain a special type of starch, called resistant starch which isn't digested by your body. It's “resistant” because it can't be broken down by the digestive enzymes produced by your body, so it travels all the way to your large intestine where it feeds your gut microbiome
