Eating too much starch is harmless. Starch is a complex carbohydrate, and the satiety gained by eating starch will last longer than eating sugar. In addition to providing physical satiety, starch is also an essential element for people to maintain spiritual pleasure.

Eating starchy food is also beneficial. For example, mung bean and miscellaneous grain starch, although called "beans", actually belong to starch food. Rich in dietary fiber, it can lower cholesterol, help gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.

Many starchy foods, such as steamed bread, flower rolls, potatoes, etc., should not be kept in the refrigerator for a long time, which will not only fail to keep fresh, but even make the taste worse and accelerate the deterioration. When this kind of food is put into the cold room, the linear part of its amylopectin will gradually associate, which will gradually harden and appear "aging" phenomenon, which will affect the taste.

Some starchy foods, such as potatoes, taro and sweet potatoes, should not be stored in the refrigerator.
