Has anyone found any RS content for raw potatoes or is there any other way to measure the content per 100 g as in the article?
I have just considered raw potatoes easier than the cook and cool method and also better than potato starch. Potatoes are quite nutrient and significantly cheaper than potato starch, if you take the 4 tablespoons required to reach 40 g RS per day.
- I don’t mean to take over, but I just love this subject!Here’s a breakdown on raw potatoes:Potatoes have roughly 16-20% starch content, the starch is about 80% RS. So 100g of raw potato would have 16-20g of starch or roughly 15g of RS.In other words, a 100g raw potato is the equivalent of 2TBS of potato starch.When I first started talking about RS, I used to advise eating raw potatoes, but people were aghast at the idea. I have done this myself for years with no problems, and Dr. Davis of Wheat Belly is also advising it now. If eating raw, be sure to peel and remove any green spots/eyes. If you have a nightshade intolerance, you’ll already know not do do this.
