What’s resistant starch?

Share

True to its name — resistant starch is a type of fiber that’s resistant to being digested in your stomach and small intestine, allowing it to arrive to your large intestine intact. Here, it acts as food for probiotics in your gut.

Resistant starch has been found to offer a range of health benefits from weight loss and satiety to increased insulin sensitivity and colorectal cancer protection. It’s naturally found in starchy foods like the young plantains we use to make Lavva’s flagship yogurt.
