Show Notes
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about Inulin. You’ve probably seen inulin on the ingredient list of many food items, but what is it? Inulin is a type of soluble fiber that is found in upwards of 36,000 plant species. Typically chicory inulin is used as a replacement for fat in packaged foods. Inulin has been shown to support digestive health, blood sugar balance, fat metabolism, and more, but are there any down sides of it? Tune in to understand more of how it’s used, how to get fiber naturally, and if you should avoid foods with inulin included in the ingredients list. Like what you're hearing?
