What it is
Wheat fiber is the indigestible part of wheat. It is obtained from the outer layers of the wheat kernel, including the bran and germ. It is typically processed by milling and sieving to achieve a desired particle size.
Why it's used
Wheat fiber is added to foods as a dietary fiber source, contributing to texture and bulk. It is often used in baked goods, cereals, and snack bars to increase their fiber content. Manufacturers use it to improve the nutritional profile of products without significantly altering taste.
Health notes
Wheat fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Diets rich in fiber are associated with improved digestive health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dietary fibers. Evidence suggests adequate fiber intake can play a role in managing blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Allergen info
Wheat fiber is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Wheat is also the source of gluten.
