PHGG vs Inulin
PHGG vs inulin compares two soluble fibre powders that look alike in the jar but differ in source, taste and FODMAP status.
PHGG vs inulin at a glance
| PHGG | Inulin | |
|---|---|---|
| Comes from | Guar beans | Usually chicory root or agave |
| Taste | None | Lightly sweet |
| Dissolves | Clear | Clear to slightly cloudy |
| FODMAP type | Not a fructan | Inulin is a fructan, a FODMAP |
Which to choose
If you follow a low FODMAP diet, note that inulin is a fructan, and check the certification on any fibre you buy. If you like a touch of sweetness in your drink and FODMAPs are not a concern, inulin is an option. Propel Health sells both: our inulin is on propelhealthaustralia.com.
Fibre per serve
