Types: Resistant starch is mainly divided into four types Excess Sugar Consumption Can Cause Fatty Liver; Type 1 resistant starch is found in grains, legumes, and seeds. Type 2 resistant starch is found in starchy foods like raw potatoes and unripe bananas. Then, Type 3 is formed when starchy foods like rice are cooled down after cooking.
