What is organic inulin?
Organic Inulin Powder is a certified organic, non-GMO soluble dietary fiber extracted from Jerusalem artichoke tubers or chicory roots. Both variants act as prebiotics to nourish beneficial gut bacteria, improve digestion, and support metabolic health. While Jerusalem artichoke inulin offers a mildly sweet flavor and quick solubility, chicory root inulin provides neutral taste and superior gel-forming capabilities for texture enhancement.
