Yes.

Salt it, spice it.

And then you put it into the fridge.

And here's the cool part.

When you take these starchy foods like beans and you put them into the fridge and you cool them down...

You create what's called retrograde starch, which is basically you have enhanced the quality of the food.

So you have created more microbiome food.

And that's incredibly healthy.

So you get the same thing if you cool off your mashed potatoes.

But then you can reheat it?

You can reheat it.

But there will be new resistant starches that were formed.

Or if you take your bread...

and you throw it into the fridge or throw it into the freezer also is a trick that you can increase the value and the glycemic index drops.

So if you were to take the exact same loaf of bread from room temperature, throw it in your fridge and then eat it, the glycemic index has improved.

Why?

Because some of the stuff that was like basically a simple carbohydrate, you turned into a resistant starch that's gonna feed the microbiome.

Yeah.

On this topic of like great fiber sources and also a great source of polyphenols, which are the colors in our food.

I love berries.
