Stacked Potato Salad
When you cook potatoes, some of the starch becomes resistant to digestion, meaning it passes through your small intestine without being absorbed. This resistant starch can benefit your gut health by feeding the good bacteria and producing short-chain fatty acids. You can increase the amount of resistant starch in potatoes even more by cooling them after cooking. This process changes the structure of the starch and makes it harder to digest, even if you reheat the potatoes later. By adding some extra plant-based proteins to a dish lowers the GI even more and increases the fibre content. Adopt some easy habits to make your meals more nutritious.
