WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Near-zero net carbs—almost all carbohydrate is non-digestible fiber
  • Improves keto baking texture (elasticity and crumb) without adding sugars
  • Helps stabilize doughs and bind moisture in low-carb recipes
  • Adds bulk/satiety while keeping carbs minimal
  • Neutral flavor integrates into both savory and sweet recipes

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Rich in soluble fiber that can support regularity
  • May help reduce LDL cholesterol when used consistently
  • Slows gastric emptying which can blunt post-meal glucose spikes
  • Promotes fullness—useful for appetite control on keto
  • Potential prebiotic effects that support a healthy gut environment
