Highlight:

"Cassava flour’s resistant starch content can benefit your gut health in more than one way (11Trusted Source).

Because resistant starch gets fermented in the large intestine, it serves as a prebioticor food for your gut’s friendly bacteria (7Trusted Source).

As a prebiotic, resistant starch promotes microbial growth, helping counteract gut dysbiosis— an altered microbiota — which has been associated with diseases such as obesity, diabetes, inflammatoryboweldiseases, and colorectalcancer(5Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).

In addition, resistant starch in cassava flour may have a protective effect on your gut’s mucosal epithelium or lining by increasing production of an SCFA called butyric acid(5Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source).

Damage to your gut’s lining may increase intestinal permeability, increasing the risk of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (11Trusted Source)."
