Resistant Starch 1 article

Starch that escapes digestion in the small intestine is classified as Resistant Starch and behaves more like a fermentable carbohydrate fraction than ordinary digestible starch. It occurs in foods such as legumes and green bananas and can increase in some cooked starches after cooling through retrogradation; specialized resistant-starch powders are also used as ingredients. Its amount can change with processing and preparation, so it should not be treated as identical to total starch or to resistant dextrin, a different processed fiber ingredient.
