Inulins are a group of naturally occurring sugars produced by many types of plants. Inulin powder has a pleasant flavor that adds a mild sweetness to foods and drinks. It is a soluble prebiotic fiber that is resistant to digestion and reaches the large intestine essentially intact. Inulin also has a minimal impact on blood sugar, making it generally considered suitable for diabetics and potentially helpful in managing blood sugar. Inulin can be a useful sugar substitute, and it is used increasingly in foods, because it has unusual nutritional characteristics. Our organic inulin powder is easily soluble in cold water, meaning it can be incorporated into beverages, bakery products, dairy products like cheese and yogurts and used as a healthy fat substitute with regard to taste and texture, but without the high calories.
