What it is

Organic inulin is a type of soluble fiber that comes from plants, most commonly chicory root. It is extracted from the plant and purified. Inulin is a natural carbohydrate that is not digested by the body.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic inulin to foods as a source of dietary fiber and to improve texture. It can also act as a low-calorie sweetener and a fat replacer. It is often found in snack bars, yogurt, ice cream, and baked goods.

Health notes

Organic inulin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a prebiotic fiber, meaning it can feed beneficial bacteria in the gut. Some people may experience gas or bloating if they consume large amounts. JECFA has evaluated inulin and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). EFSA has also evaluated inulin and found it safe.

Allergen info

Organic inulin is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
