My guess is that this is a pretty rough use of the word natural. Or maybe it's just the water that's natural

What they described as natural might be the procedure here;

Perhaps there's some cooking in the dehydration process. But I doubt it. They wouldn't want it to brown or gel.

With the glycemic index... yeah that's gotta be cooked. Raw starchers are still in the minority.

I don't actually use the stuff myself. If I did use it... I'd test it with a glucose monitor or ketone strips, and prefer that over any official assay paid for by the manufacturer, anyways. Who knows? Slightly different gut bacteria, and maybe the starch is breaking down quickly enough into glucose that we'd get an increase in blood glucose. I'm paranoid that way.
