A resistant starch is a starch that resists this enzymatic action and doesnât break down into sugar molecules. For example, raw cornstarch contains a fair amount of resistant starch. If you were to put some in your mouth and chew on it, it wouldnât start to taste sweet no matter how long you chewed it.
One type of starch, called resistant starch, acts more like dietary fiber and is usually classified as such, since it cannot be digested in the small intestine and is instead partially digested by bacteria in the large intestine.
