Teff and plantain flour, both ingredients in the Ralph and Jane (W)healthy Wondermix and Power Pancake mix are very good sources of resistant starch or in English 'resistant starch'(or RS). You might have a negative feeling when you hear the term starch because it belongs to carbohydrates and this could then greatly disrupt blood sugar.<\/p>\n

However, resistant starch is totally different and can be counted among the useful dietary fibres that are not converted into glucose, so do not make blood sugar rise and do not provide calories. Our good gut bacteria (gut flora, probiotics) can grow extremely well precisely on resistant starch. Both the number of species and the absolute number of these very welcome bacteria can go up because of it, which is beneficial for digestion and our health.<\/p>\n

Resistant starch is thus a dietary fibre. Dietary fibres are digested in the large intestine and not in the small intestine. Yet they are crucial for proper digestion and intestinal flora. There are all kinds of fibres that can come from vegetables, fruits, tubers, bulbs, roots and grains.

Resistant starch is a water-soluble (fermentable) fibre that really stands out in some positive ways.<\/p>\n
