Resistant starch (type I)
Resistant starches are starches that are resistant to digestion in the small intestine. Many studies have shown that resistant starches can improve insulin signalling, lower blood glucose, reduce appetite and improve digestion. Type I resistant starches are found in grains, seeds and legumes and are physically inaccessible to digestion due to entrapment in a non-digestible matrix. They are digested at a very slow rate but do become digestible if they are milled or chewed.
