Can green banana flour be used for cooking and still function as a resistant starch if the dish is cooled before consuming? I’ve seen AIP cracker recipes that include green banana flour.

Kelsey Kinney: All right. So to be honest, I’m not 100 percent sure about this, but so I would verify this with Chris or someone else on the team just to make sure, but I believe since green bananas have that high amylose content that becomes digestible when it’s cooked above 130 degrees, but then becomes indigestible again once they’re cooled. I would think that cooking and cooling green banana flour should be fine and you would still have that resistant starch content.

So, again, not 100 percent on that, but that is my understanding of it, and so I’d verify that with someone, but I’m pretty sure that should be the case.
