What is Optifibre fiber?
Optifibre fiber is a soluble-fibre powder made to be stirred into drinks and foods. It is commonly mixed with water, milk, yoghurt, porridge or soup, and has a mild, unobtrusive taste that suits both sweet and savoury dishes. You can add it to breakfast oats or yoghurt, or mix it into a drink during the day; it is also easy to use in home cooking without changing a dish’s flavour much.
Its nutritional profile is centred on fibre, with no fat or protein. A medium tablespoon is about 5 g. Stir it thoroughly into the food or drink, adding it gradually to thicker mixtures such as yoghurt for a smoother result. Its neutral character makes it a convenient option when you want to add fibre without making a meal noticeably sweeter or heavier.
