Hi-maize resistant starch
Hi-maize resistant starch is a highly refined corn-derived starch with no known histamine activity.
Hi-maize is a specific type of resistant starch extracted from high-amylose corn and processed into a fine powder used as a dietary fiber supplement or flour replacement.
-
Highly refined — the extensive processing removes most other compounds from corn, leaving behind a starch that has no established connection to histamine release or DAO blocking
-
Used as an additive — when it appears as an ingredient in packaged foods, the other components of that product are worth reviewing separately
On its own, it's typically considered one of the most neutral starch options available.
