Answer:
Put a cracker on a plate, and test it for starch using a drop of the iodine solution. Chew a second cracker for 60 seconds until it is completely mixed with saliva. Spit out the chewed cracker onto another plate, and add a drop of iodine. You may be surprised to observe that the iodine no longer changed colors.
