What it is
Organic Jerusalem artichoke inulin is a type of soluble fiber extracted from the Jerusalem artichoke root. It is a natural carbohydrate that is not digested by the human body and is often used as a food ingredient. The extraction process typically involves washing, chopping, and then extracting the inulin using hot water.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add inulin as a prebiotic fiber, a low-calorie sweetener, and a texturizer. It can improve mouthfeel and add creaminess to 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. Some individuals may experience gas or bloating when consuming large amounts of inulin. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated inulin and its related compounds.
Allergen info
Inulin is derived from plants and is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
