Well, there are a couple of different types of starch. There is the type of starch that you use on your laundry to make laundry stiff, then there is the type that you put in your body such as corn, potatoes, bread, rice, cereal, pasta, etc. A starchy food is a food that is mainly composed of carbohydrates.
