What is acacia dietary fiber?
We offer "water-soluble dietary fiber" that is "natural, organic, and carbon-free" and is designed with the health of both the earth and ourselves in mind. It's called Organic Water-Soluble Acacia Dietary Fiber. It's a recommended dietary fiber product for health-conscious individuals, as it's suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and FODMAPs, gluten-free, and low in calories.
Why do Japanese people need dietary fiber, which is lacking in it?
Why do we need fiber?
A good diet is fundamental to our existence. Balanced nutrition contributes to long-term health and a more fulfilling life. However, dietary habits are changing due to the rise of processed foods and changing lifestyles. Many people now eat foods that are high in energy, fat, sugar, sodium, and additives.
Dietary fiber is something that most people are said to be lacking.
That's why dietary fiber has been gaining attention in recent years. Dietary fiber is an important nutrient that may increase satiety and help with calorie and weight management, and is also known as the sixth nutrient. It's an important nutrient not only for good health but also for staying active every day. However, if you're busy, it's easy to forget about it. It's said that most Japanese people don't get enough dietary fiber.
What is soluble dietary fiber?
Dietary fiber can be broadly divided into two types: insoluble dietary fiber, which does not dissolve in water, and soluble dietary fiber, which dissolves in water. Soluble dietary fiber absorbs water and forms a gel, which wraps around excess material and helps it to be flushed away.
Natural dietary fiber is essential in today's world where simple foods are in demand.
Many people are conscious about their health and take water-soluble dietary fiber or indigestible dextrin. For those people, we recommend natural acacia dietary fiber.
What is the most commonly sold soluble dietary fiber?
Many of these foods are dietary fiber-like foods, meaning they have similar properties to dietary fiber. They are made by processing and refining starch (from corn, etc.). Because they have a small molecular weight, they are prone to fermentation and produce gas.
What is Genryoya's Acacia Water-Soluble Dietary Fiber?
This is a 100% plant-based, water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from African acacia trees. Because it is a natural material, it is a popular product among those seeking more natural ingredients. It has a large molecular weight and is less likely to produce gas.
*The molecular weight of common water-soluble dietary fiber, primarily resistant dextrin, is usually in the range of 2,000 to 10,000 daltons. Genryo-ya's water-soluble dietary fiber is 30,000 daltons.
Acacia, a natural dietary fiber with a 5,000-year history
Acacia dietary fiber is not very familiar in Japan, but it is a safe food that has been loved for 5,000 years. It is made from tree sap. The sap that seeps from the branches and trunks of acacia trees turns into cute, amber-colored, drop-like clumps. It is a natural, water-soluble colloid.
It is then refined and crushed into a smooth, easily soluble powder.
Of the approximately 200 varieties of acacia, we use the edible "Senegal species," which has no peculiar or bitter taste.
Reliable manufacturing process
This organic acacia tree is carefully grown without the use of pesticides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers. It is 100% natural, non-GMO, non-allergenic, and safe.
Of course, no chemicals are used in the refining process, and no enzymatic decomposition is performed. The refinement process is simple: dissolve in water → filter → centrifuge → pasteurize → spray.
