Z Natural Foods AGAVE INULIN POWDER - ORGANIC

Z Natural Foods Agave Inulin Powder - Organic is extracted from 100% Organic Blue Tequilana Weber Agave. This species of blue agave is well known for its use in the production of premium tequila and agave nectar (a naturally low glycemic index sweetener) and is also an excellent source for inulin. The inulin is extracted from the blue agave plant through a gentle enzymatic process. To produce 1 pound of inulin, 6 pounds of agave are required. Organic Agave Inulin Powder is a "super fiber" with a neutral, clean, mildly sweet flavor. Agave inulin is a low glycemic sweetener, making it a healthy alternative for people with diabetes and those watching their blood sugar levels. Scientific studies have shown that inulin may help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and increase the absorption of nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium. Organic Inulin from agave has the added benefit of being very soluble in cold water, meaning it can be incorporated into beverages, baked goods, dairy products, and substitute for the properties of fat without the high calories. Organic Agave Inulin Powder not only works like fiber but may also act as a probiotic to support intestinal health. Agave contains saponins, and according to experts, saponins, which are found in a variety of plant roots such as ginseng, have anti-inflammatory, immune system-boosting, and antimicrobial properties. Significant historical use of agave included it being used by the Aztecs to treat wounds and prevent infection.
