What’s up, bros? Today, we’re gonna talk about a superfood that’s been around for a while but is just starting to get the attention it deserves. It’s called super starch, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer.

The History of Super Starch

First off, let’s talk about the history of this bad boy. Super starch was actually invented by a company called Corn Products back in the 1940s. They were looking for a way to make a slow-digesting carbohydrate for soldiers in World War II, and they came up with this stuff. But it wasn’t until recently that athletes and fitness enthusiasts started to realize the benefits of this super starch.

The Benefits of Super Starch

So what are the benefits, you ask? Well, first off, super starch is a slow-digesting carbohydrate, which means it provides a sustained source of energy without spiking your blood sugar. This is great for athletes who need to perform at a high level for extended periods of time. But super starch also has benefits for regular bros like you and me. It can help with weight loss by keeping you feeling full for longer periods of time. And because it doesn’t spike your blood sugar, it can also be a great option for people with diabetes.

Super Starch Recipes

Now, let’s talk about some recipes. Super starch can be added to just about anything, from smoothies to oatmeal to baked goods. One of my favorite ways to use it is in a post-workout smoothie. I’ll blend up some super starch, protein powder, frozen fruit, and almond milk for a delicious and nutritious shake.

I’m gonna teach you how to make your very own super starch. It’s easy and it’s gonna take your nutrition game to the next level.

  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens up and starts to turn translucent. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Once the mixture is thick and translucent, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  5. Once cooled, pour the mixture into a container and store it in the fridge. It will keep for about a week.

Boom! You just made your very own super starch. Now you can add it to all kinds of recipes to give yourself sustained energy and keep you feeling full. For a nutritious boost, try it in smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods.

Keep in mind, bros, that this stuff is potent, so start with a small amount and see how your body reacts before adding more.

Super Starch Rice/Potato Recipe

If you don’t want to make super starch from scratch, I got another way for you to get your hands on this game-changing fuel. You can actually make it by cooking rice or potatoes, cooling them down, and then cooking them again. Here’s how:

Ingredients:

  • White rice or potatoes (1 cup)
  • Water (4 cups)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the rice or potatoes in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  2. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  3. Add the rice or potatoes to the boiling water and cook until they are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes for the rice and 25-30 minutes for the potatoes.
  4. Once the rice or potatoes are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool down. You can do this by spreading them out on a baking sheet or transferring them to a bowl and refrigerating them for a few hours.
  5. Once the rice or potatoes are cool, you can cook them again. Add them to a pot with 4 cups of water and heat them up over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  6. Keep stirring until the rice or potatoes turn into a thick, translucent paste. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once the mixture is thick and translucent, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  8. Once cooled, you can use the super starch in your favorite recipes.

That’s it, bros! By cooking your rice or potatoes twice, you can create your very own super starch. It’s a great way to get sustained energy and keep yourself feeling full. Plus, it’s an easy way to upgrade your nutrition game without having to make super starch from scratch.

So give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

As always, consult with a healthcare professional before making any major changes to your diet.

Relation to KETO Diet

And what about the KETO diet? Well, super starch can actually be a great option for KETO bros. Because it’s slow-digesting, it won’t kick you out of ketosis like other high-carb foods might. Plus, it provides a sustained source of energy for those tough workouts.

So there you have it, bros. Super starch is a superfood that’s been around for a while but is just starting to get the attention it deserves. With its sustained source of energy and weight loss benefits, it’s a great option for athletes and regular bros alike. Give it a try and see how it can help take your fitness game to the next level.
