Inulin and the Vegan Diet
Inulin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in many plants, but is most commonly extracted from chicory root for use in food products. It acts as a soluble dietary fiber and prebiotic, promoting gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria in the colon. Inulin is also used as a fat and sugar replacer in a variety of processed foods due to its mildly sweet flavor and ability to improve texture.
