Our certified organic inulin powder is a natural, plant-based dietary fiber extracted from organically grown chicory root (Cichorium intybus). With its mild sweetness, excellent solubility, and proven prebiotic benefits, it serves as a multi-functional ingredient for sugar reduction, fiber enrichment, fat mimicking, and digestive wellness.
Ideal for clean-label, keto-friendly, diabetic-safe, and gut-health-focused products, our organic inulin meets global standards for purity, sustainability, and performance.
What Is Organic Inulin?
Inulin is a fructan—a chain of fructose molecules—naturally found in plants like chicory, Jerusalem artichoke, and garlic. Our organic inulin powder is produced through a gentle hot-water extraction process from certified organic chicory roots, followed by filtration, concentration, and spray-drying. No chemical solvents or synthetic additives are used.
It contains 90%+ dietary fiber (as soluble fiber), provides only 1–2 kcal/g, and has a glycemic index near zero—making it suitable for low-sugar and low-calorie formulations.
Key Functional & Nutritional Benefits
- Prebiotic: Clinically shown to support growth of beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli
- Sugar Reduction: Replaces up to 30–50% of sugar while maintaining texture and mouthfeel
- Fat Mimetic: Adds creaminess and body in dairy and plant-based products
- Fiber Fortification: Easily boosts daily fiber intake without altering taste
- Low Calorie: ~1.5 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g for sugar
- Clean Label: Non-GMO, allergen-free, and free from artificial ingredients
