Inulin is a type of soluble fiber found in many plants. They can be found in many economically important plants such as chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, onion, garlic, barley, rye and wheat. Inulin is also fructan. Like other fructans, it is a prebiotic, meaning
that it feeds the good bacteria in the gut.The gut bacteria convert inulin and other prebiotics into short-chain fatty acids,
which nourish colon cells and provide various other health benefits.Inulins are an intrinsic ingredient of many of our common
foodstuffs.
