Inulin Powder is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber, mainly extracted from plants such as chicory roots, Jerusalem artichokes, and garlic.

Core Characteristics

1. Prebiotic Effect: It cannot be directly digested and absorbed by the human upper digestive tract. After entering the large intestine, it can serve as "food" for beneficial intestinal bacteria (such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli), helping to regulate the balance of intestinal flora.
2. Low Calorie and Low Sweetness: Its sweetness is about 10%-30% that of sucrose, and its calorie content is only about half that of sucrose. It is often used as a low-calorie sweetener or sugar substitute.
3. Improving Digestion and Metabolism: It can increase fecal volume and promote intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, it helps slow down the rate of postprandial blood glucose rise and assists in regulating blood lipids.

Common Uses

• Food Industry: It is added to yogurt, beverages, baked goods, and ice cream to increase the dietary fiber content of products and improve their taste.
• Dietary Supplements: It can be brewed and consumed alone as a powder to help supplement dietary fiber daily, especially suitable for people with insufficient vegetable intake in their diet.
