Interested in any lab rats who may have tried this as a form of resistant starch and/or viewpoints. Trying to get beyond the hype.

Thanks!

I bought some. Its still in the cupboard. I use it as a flour in meatballs or hamburgers. My daughter throws a bit in her smoothies and experiments with it with pancakes. I know what you mean about the hype. I listened to all the podcasts about resistant starch and even drank potatoes starch in soda water. But then I thought this doesn't seem normal or like real food which is where I'm heading now. I know its supposed to feed our gut microbiom blah blah, but who really knows what's going on in there. I'm regular, no digestive issues at all so I don't bother with it now. But it was interesting. The changes I have made now are that when we eat rice or potatoes they are usually cooked the day before cooled then reheated.

I've recently eaten several green bananas curtesy of Waitrose cafe (25p to cover purchase for free coffee) and, though dry and a little bitter, they're not too bad. Hoping there may be some residual resistant starch thing happening as a result.

I bought raw potato starch. I find that I can bury a couple of teaspoons of it in Greek yoghurt. That is how I take any of my "good for you" powders, such as FOS, or glutamine, or spirulina. I have read what resistant starches are meant to be doing, but you largely have to take it on trust that it's happening, you can't exactly see it going on.
