What it is
Organic agave inulin is a type of dietary fiber derived from the agave plant, native to Mexico. It is extracted from the plant's roots and is a natural source of fructans, a type of carbohydrate.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic agave inulin as a prebiotic fiber to support gut health and as a low-calorie sweetener. It is commonly found in snack bars, baked goods, and some frozen desserts, where it can also improve texture and mouthfeel.
Health notes
Organic agave inulin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of prebiotic fiber, which may support a healthy gut microbiome. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated inulin and related fructans. While generally considered safe, high intake may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals.
Allergen info
Organic agave inulin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
