When it comes to digestion and nutrition, not all carbohydrates behave the same way. Resistant starch is a unique type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and acts more like dietary fiber, offering several health benefits.

What Is Resistant Starch?

Resistant starch is a type of starch that passes through the stomach and small intestine largely intact. Instead of being absorbed as glucose, it reaches the large intestine, where it is fermented by gut bacteria, producing beneficial compounds like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially butyrate.

Types of Resistant Starch

1. RS1 – Physically Enclosed Starch

   • Found in whole or partially milled grains and seeds.

For those of you who haven't heard, we have recently made a move over 1,000 miles to our new 155 acre farm in Wisconsin. The move was a decision we made in order to be able to help family. There will be much more news about this coming out soon, but for now you can go to the new Facebook group we've made (https://www.facebook.com/groups/thevikingfarm) to see some pictures and read a little more about what's gone on. We will also be posting video and having our Member's chats on that platform now. We appreciate you all SO MUCH and we hope too see you over there as we bring everyone up to speed on this huge life change for our family.

As always we sure do appreciate you all. It's been a crazy few months here. Ups and downs seems like every day. We are a bit behind due to some of the downs, one being Bekah's mom having a couple strokes recently. Work definitely stops at times like that for sure. She is doing as well as can be expected and the family is doing all we can for her. Thank you all for you thoughts and prayers. - As a little bit of a ray of sunshine, I thought I'd post a little video for you all today of a boy and his ducks. It makes us smile and we hope it does you too. Enjoy!

In case you wondered why it was so quiet for a bit.... We have had a bit of excitement here. We would like to introduce you to the newest family member! She arrived last week and is strong and adorable! Mom is doing well also and we are grateful for that. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts throughout Bekah's pregnancy. We are excited for you all to meet this sweet baby girl soon.
