Nova Vitae Acacia fibersDietary fiber (fiber for short) is the collective name for a diverse group of carbohydrates that are not digested or absorbed by our intestines. Our food does not contain a single type of fiber, but a mixture of many different types of fiber. All these different types of fiber have different effects in our body.
Fibers in food
Dietary fiber mainly comes from the cell wall of plants. Important sources of fiber are vegetables, fruit, potatoes, wholemeal bread, cereals, legumes and nuts. When milling grains into flour or peeling rice, a large part of the fiber is removed. Therefore, whole grain products (wholemeal bread, wholemeal pasta, bulgur, wholemeal couscous and brown rice) are richer in fiber than other types of bread and white rice. Animal products do not contain fiber.
Because our diet is so processed and contains little fiber, it is advisable to supplement your daily amount of fiber.

Usage
Mix 2 generous teaspoons (4 grams) into a large glass of water. If mixing is not optimal, it is better to first fill the glass halfway with water and add the acacia fibers while stirring. It is easier to add acacia fibers to your food for better dissolution and optimal digestion. Acacia fibers can also be added as a dry substance to a portion of oatmeal, which can then be used to prepare your favorite oatmeal porridge. This way you enrich your oatmeal porridge with even more fiber!
