Many people around the world don't get enough fiber in their diets, resulting in several health issues. Imagine creating bakery products that not only taste delicious but also help improve overall health. Our goal is to make it easy for bakers and baked goods producers to create tasty and healthy fiber-rich products. Read on to learn more about the benefits of fiber and how to add it effortlessly to your baked goods.
Studies show that 40% of the global population have at least one functional gut disorder and a staggering 90% of people globally fall short of the recommended 25g of daily fiber.
There are a host of different health benefits that come from eating the recommended amount of dietary fiber.
These include:
Alongside these benefits, fiber plays a crucial role in improving gut health. Often referred to as the "second brain," the gut influences overall well-being and mood. A high-fiber diet supports a healthy gut microbiome. This aids in digestion, boosts immune function, and even contributes to your overall mental health. So, the need for high-fiber foods is clear.
Dietary fiber helps to aid gut health in several important ways:
One of the best ways to improve the fiber content of baked goods is to add fiber-rich ingredients like whole grains and seeds to recipes.
