What it is

Organic tapioca fiber is a soluble dietary fiber derived from organic tapioca starch. The starch undergoes enzymatic modification and purification to create a syrup rich in short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS). It is a natural sweetener with a mild taste and is often used as a healthier alternative to sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic tapioca fiber to foods primarily as a sweetener and to increase fiber content. It provides a slightly sweet taste with fewer calories than sugar and can improve the texture of products. It is commonly found in snack bars, protein bars, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Organic tapioca fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a soluble fiber, it can contribute to digestive health. Some studies suggest it may have a prebiotic effect, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. JECFA has evaluated similar fructooligosaccharides and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence on its impact on blood sugar and satiety is ongoing.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Tapioca is derived from the cassava root, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
