Inulin Powder Explained

What is inulin powder, and why do I use it?

Inulin powder has become a fundamental and essential part of my kitchen. Inulin is used daily in my cooking and my diet for many reasons. So what exactly is it, and why should we all be using it?

I get many questions about this fabulous ingredient that I love, and I answer all of them in the video below.

So at its core, inulin powder is a dietary fibre and prebiotic. It's an icing sugar-like substance that is derived from the chicory root. Fortunately for our health, it isn't sugar. However, it is naturally sweet. The slight hint of sweetness in the inulin powder can be valuable for making healthier versions of your favourite desserts. 

Whenever I create dessert recipes, you'll notice that inulin is almost always involved. I even use it in my sauces and other dishes for its sweetness and health benefits. 

In my pickling recipes, I use inulin to give balance to the acidity of my pickled foods. Often in baking, I will substitute inulin powder for sugar as inulin still gives you the sweetness desired but takes out all the bad. Remember that inulin is a dietary fibre meaning that you can't simply substitute inulin for sugar at a 1:1 ratio. Having too much dietary fibre in our body will result in a few more trips to the toilet than you would like. 

I always have a large jar ready to use at any moment. You can add it to your tea or coffee in the morning or even just have a teaspoon of it after eating to help with digestion. 

Inulin powder possesses so many beneficial properties. It can help with weight loss and gut healing. Inulin helps your gut to digest food and absorb all the nutrients efficiently. It also makes you feel full quicker, meaning you won't need to eat as much to feel satisfied. 

Gut health is essential for improving your overall health, and inulin is a significant first step. It acts as food for probiotics, forming an outstanding balance that keeps your gut happy.
