Foods made with resistant starch create reduced calorie, high fiber products. Resistant starch is not absorbed by the small intestine, where most nutrients are absorbed by the body. The starch undergoes limited digestion in the large intestine. The undigested portion of resistant starch passes through the large intestine as fiber. Small amounts of resistant starch occur naturally in potatoes, grains, and legumes. Food manufacturers use chemical processing to create resistant starches because properties such as crisp texture are enhanced in addition to reducing calories and increasing fiber. Resistant starches are used in baked goods and snack foods.
