Oligofructose
Oligofructose is a type of ingredient that comes from plants like chicory root. It's a carbohydrate, but unlike regular sugar, oligofructose isn't fully broken down by our bodies, so it doesn't add as many calories.
To make oligofructose, they take the root of the chicory plant and extract the natural fibers. These fibers are then processed into a sweet substance that can be added to food products.
You might see oligofructose on food labels because it can act as a sweetener and also as a type of dietary fiber. It's often used in low-sugar or sugar-free products like yoghurts, cereals, and baked goods to help improve texture and sweetness without adding too many extra calories.
