👉 "Non-starch" is a term used in nutrition and food science. It refers to a type of carbohydrate that does not require digestion or absorption for consumption. Non-starch carbohydrates are found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and some types of dairy products. While nonstarch carbohydrates can be consumed in small quantities as part of a healthy diet, they do not provide the same nutritional benefits as starchy carbohydrates (such as those from grains).
