What it is

Jerusalem artichoke inulin is a type of soluble fiber derived from the Jerusalem artichoke plant, also known as a sunchoke. It is extracted from the plant's tubers and processed to isolate the inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber. It is a white to off-white powder.

Why it's used

Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort, such as gas or bloating, when consuming large amounts of inulin. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated inulin and its effects on gut health.
