Hello,
I found an article on Instagram stating that inulin is an indigestible-insoluble oligosaccharide. I'm a bit confused about this.
Thank you for the clarification.
Inulin is classified as a soluble form of fiber, yet it resists digestive processes from the stomach to the small intestine. It is only broken down in the large intestine by the action of gut microbiota bacteria, serving as a source of nourishment for them.
