Resistant starch (RS) is that fraction of starch, which escapes enzymic hydrolysis in the small intestine and passes in the colon. Effect of storage time (12 and 24 h) and temperature (4 °C and 25 °C) was studied on RS content of the pressure‐cooked cereal and legume grains/seeds and their flours. RS content was observed to increase in the stored cereals and legumes, with more enhanced increase in the flour samples stored at refrigeration temperature for longer duration (41.4% in wheat flour and 85.4% in pea flour). Significant positive correlations were observed between RS content (4 °C, 24 h) and amylose (y = 0.388 × -5.948, r = 0.840, P ≤ 0.05, n = 7) as well as between % increase in insoluble dietary fibre content (4 °⁰C, 24 h) and amylose (y = 2.257 × -27.724, r = 0.971, P ≤ 0.05, n = 7). Reduced in vitro starch digestibility of the cooked/stored samples (4 °C, 24 h) was observed when compared to freshly cooked samples.
