Raw, uncooked regular cornstarch contains a lot of resistant starch, but once you cook it, it becomes highly digested.In contrast, some corn is naturally rich in amylose and contains about 70-75% amylose and only 25-30% amylopectin.hese are broken down when digested into sugar or quick energy but take longer so you may not have a sugar spike and then crash.
