Inulin is a starchy carbohydrate found in pulses, predominantly lentils and chickpeas, chicory, elecampaine and many other plants.
Inulin is also a water soluble fiber used as a prebiotic for the maintenance of healthy bacteria and regular functions of the intestines, for aiding slimming, to reduce the percentage of visceral fat, and with benefit in diabetes.
The recommended dose is 3.5 grams daily, sprinkled on food.
Inulin is tasteless and has no flavour, therefore does not change the taste of foods.
