It could keep your gut healthy.

If you love keeping up with the latest food trends, you may have heard the term "resistant starch" buzzing. While research is still in early days, resistant starch has been linked to some legit health benefits. The best part? It’s found in foods you’re probably already eating (carbs!).

Never heard of resistant starch before? Here’s the deal: “Resistant starch is a type of fiber found in some starchy foods,” says Mindy Patterson, PhD, a nutrition researcher and assistant professor of nutrition at Texas Women’s University. While most starch gets broken down into glucose, resistant starch, well, resists digestion and can’t be broken down. Intrigued? There's so much more to know about resistant starch.

It could keep your gut healthy.

Studies have shown that increased resistant starch intake may lead to a more diverse (a.k.a. healthier) gut microbiome. That's because resistant starch foods contain prebiotic fibers which “ferment in your colon and feed the good bacteria in your gut,” Patterson explains. (For a refresher, prebiotics are food for probiotics, the good bacteria in your gut.)
