What it is

Sugarcane fiber is a dietary fiber derived from sugarcane stalks. After sugarcane juice is extracted for sugar, the remaining fibrous material is processed to isolate the fiber.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dietary fibers, and EFSA has also assessed various fiber sources. Evidence generally supports the role of dietary fiber in a balanced diet.
