What it is

Inulin is a type of soluble fiber found naturally in many plants. When derived from Jerusalem artichoke (also known as sunchoke), it is extracted from the plant's tubers. The process typically involves washing, chopping, and then extracting the inulin using hot water.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add inulin as a dietary fiber source and a low-calorie sweetener. It can also act as a fat replacer, improving texture and mouthfeel in foods. It is commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Inulin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a prebiotic fiber, it can support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated inulin and found it to be safe. Some individuals may experience gas or bloating when consuming large amounts of inulin, especially if not accustomed to high-fiber diets.

Allergen info

Inulin is not a major allergen. It is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
