What it is

Bamboo fiber is a dietary fiber derived from bamboo plants. It is typically produced by steaming bamboo shoots, then mechanically processing them to extract the fiber. This fiber is then cleaned and dried.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add bamboo fiber to foods as a source of dietary fiber and to improve texture. It can act as a bulking agent, helping to create a feeling of fullness. It is often found in baked goods like breads and buns, pasta, and snack bars.

Health notes

Bamboo fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a fiber, it can contribute to digestive health when consumed as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dietary fibers, but specific numeric limits are not always set for every type. Evidence suggests it can help with satiety, which may aid in weight management.

Allergen info

Bamboo fiber is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
