What it is

Organic inulin powder is a type of soluble fiber derived from plants. It is typically extracted from chicory root, but can also be sourced from other plants like Jerusalem artichokes. The extraction process involves isolating the inulin from the plant material.

Why it's used

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

Health notes

In the US, inulin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of dietary fiber, which can support digestive health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated inulin. Some studies suggest inulin may help improve blood sugar control and cholesterol levels, but more research is needed to confirm these effects. Evidence on its impact on gut microbiota is ongoing.

Allergen info

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