What is the nutritional fiber called Inulin?

Dietary fiber helps you feel full longer. Additionally, a fiber-rich diet is important for proper digestion and can help lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Dreamfields pasta has about the same high fiber as whole wheat pasta per serving, plus it is the only one to include a natural soluble fiber called Inulin, Unlike insulin, Inulin is a naturally-occurring non-digestible carbohydrate found in over 36,000 plants worldwide.

Inulin is a natural dietary fiber that is growing in popularity due to its ability to promote health and well-being. It is found in many common foods such as artichokes, asparagus, onions, garlic, raisins and bananas. Inulin is a soluble fiber and has a zero Glycemic Index. Because of this, Inulin does not raise blood glucose levels and is among the starches beneficial for people observing low glycemic, diabetes, low carb, and weight-loss diets.

Unlike regular starch, Inulin is not digested by the body, but is used as preferred food (dietary fiber) by a select group of health-promoting probiotic bacteria (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), the same bacteria as those found as active cultures in many yogurts and fermented dairy products.

Studies have shown that 8 grams a day of Inulin can help increase the body’s calcium absorption by as much as 20%. Now you can include Inulin in your diet by eating great tasting Dreamfields Pasta, which has 2 grams of Inulin per serving and is the only pasta made using this valuable fiber. Following a healthy diet that is fiber-rich can have a significant impact on the prevention and treatment of obesity, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, as well as better digestive health.
