What are fibres and why are they important?

Dietary fibre is the structural part of plants, and it’s found in all foods derived from plant products. It’s the edible part of plants that our digestive enzymes can’t break down, hence why fibre isn’t digested in the same way as sugars and starches: it’s not degraded by human digestive enzymes and ferments, so it reaches the gut intact and acts as a prebiotic.

Fibres’ benefits:

They are 100% plant-based
They are categorized as fibres in ingredient lists (they are not considered additives)
They dissolve easily
They add neither colour nor flavour to your creations
They improve products’ texture when thawed
They work in acidic preparations
They can fulfill some of the same purposes as animal proteins
