BANANAS

Unripe green bananas contain 34g RS per 100g. This lowers to 6.2g when they’re very ripe.

PASTA

Just-cooked pasta = a rise in blood sugar, but reheat it and the RS content halves the blood glucose increase.

OATS

Oats contain 3.6g RS per 100g, but soak them overnight to boost levels further. Win.

POTATOES

When cooled, you’ll benefit from a RS content hike from 0.5g to 3.2g per 100g, plus a rise in vitamins C and B6.
