Qualities
Inulin is considered a prebiotic fiber. It is not actually absorbed in the stomach, but functions in the bowels where beneficial bacteria are able to use it to grow and proliferate. It supports the growth of bacteria associated with improving bowel function and general health.
Dietary fibers such as inulin are known to enhance gut health, curb appetite, help maintain heart health by influencing lipid metabolism, and improve bone density by increasing calcium and magnesium absorption. Other plants that naturally contain high amounts of inulin include chicory, wheat, onions, leeks, bananas, garlic, asparagus and Jerusalem artichokes. Beyond its prebiotic properties, Jerusalem artichokes are rich in iron, potassium, vitamin C, and B.
Common Use
