Swank up that BBQ salad…
Potatoes often get a bad rep but cooked and cooled potatoes contain something called resistant starch. Resistant starch behaves in a similar way to fibre and cannot be digested in the small intestine. When it reaches your large intestine, bacteria work hard to ferment it and produce short chain fatty acids (aka ‘gut food’ – the stuff your gut microbes love!).
This colourful and gut-friendly potato salad offers a double whammy of fermented deliciousness AND resistant starch.
