We know that eating potato salad, for example, is healthier than eating baked potato because the chilling converts some of the starch into a resistant form—resistant to digestion in our small intestine. So, it makes it all the way down to our colon and acts as a prebiotic for our good gut flora. And we're talking a 40% drop in glycemic index, just
chilling.
