🌾 Oat Fiber

Oat Fiber is a natural ingredient increasingly appreciated in cooking and the food industry. Rich in fiber, it is obtained by grinding the indigestible outer hull of Avena sativa. It appears as a beige powder, with a fiber content of 93.3%, capable of effectively absorbing water, fats, and moisture.

Today, oats are considered a valuable food, appreciated anew for their versatility and ability to enrich preparations with a high fiber content. Used to increase consistency and improve dough workability, they are also ideal for light and functional recipes.

⚙️ Characteristics and uses

Oat Fiber contains extremely low amounts of fat (0.2%), protein (0.4%), and carbohydrates (0.1%), making it a pure and concentrated source of fiber.

• In ice cream production, it helps increase viscosity and reduce ice crystal formation, especially when combined with other fibers such as inulin or apple fiber.

• In pastry making and cooking, it improves doughs thanks to its high water-absorption capacity; it is suitable for bread, leavened baked goods, cookies, pancakes, soups, broths, and sauces.

• In baked goods, it helps retain moisture, providing greater softness and longer-lasting freshness.
