What it is
Sugar beet fiber is a dietary fiber derived from sugar beets. It is typically produced by extracting sugar from sugar beets and then processing the remaining pulp, which is rich in fiber. This process yields a concentrated source of plant-based fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sugar beet fiber to foods to increase their fiber content. It can also act as a bulking agent and improve texture. You can find it in baked goods like croissants, sweet rolls, muffins, and pastries, as well as in frozen meals and breads.
Health notes
Sugar beet fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, which are important for digestive health. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sugar beet fiber. Evidence suggests that increasing dietary fiber intake can contribute to a healthy digestive system.
Allergen info
Sugar beet fiber is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
