What is resistant starch? Carbohydrate foods all contain starch. In simple terms, starch is a long chain of glucose molecules. This is converted into sugar during digestion. However, resistant starch is mainly found in raw carbohydrate-rich foods, such as raw potatoes, corn kernels, unripe bananas and bread with many unprocessed grains. But it is also formed by cooling cooked starchy foods. The process takes between 12 and 24 hours.
