MEXICAN PLANT PROVIDES DUAL FUNCTIONALITY
Organic Agave Inulin Powder from Global Organics combines the benefits of prebiotic fiber with the ability to sweeten naturally, the company says. Derived from the Agave tequilana plant in Mexico, it is a 50/50 blend of agave inulin and sweet agave powder, extracted and purified without additives. Agave inulin is a prebiotic fiber that promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria for improved digestion and nutrient absorption. It is appropriate for a variety of applications where both sweetness and added fiber on the label is important, including dairy beverages, yogurts, and frozen desserts.
