📝 Description

Inulin is a type of soluble dietary fiber and a fructan, found in many plants. It's a glucose polymer, often short-chain or long-chain, with different properties. Inulin is commonly used as a prebiotic, meaning it feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and is found in foods like chicory root, asparagus, and onions. It is also available as a supplement and has been studied for its potential effects on glucose regulation and cholesterol levels.
