What is it?

Wheat fibre is a type of dietary fibre derived from the outer shell of the wheat kernel. It’s a rich source of insoluble fibre, meaning it doesn’t dissolve in water and passes through the digestive system relatively intact, adding bulk to the stool and aiding regular bowel movements.

It plays a crucial role in promoting digestive health as it helps prevent constipation by speeding up the movement of food through the digestive tract. Additionally, wheat fibre may contribute to lowering cholesterol levels and promoting hearth health.

Applications

Wheat fibre is utilised in several ways throughout the food and drink industry, some examples include:

  • Bakery Products – Wheat fibre is commonly added to baked goods such as bread, muffins and cookies to increase their fibre content. It not only boosts the nutritional value of these products but also enhances texture and moisture retention, resulting in softer and more palatable baked goods.
  • Cereals and Breakfast Foods – Many breakfast cereals and granola bars contain wheat fibre as an ingredient to provide a source of dietary fibre.
  • Processed Foods –  Wheat fibre is often incorporated into various processed foods to enhance their fibre content and nutritional profile.
  • Beverages – Wheat fibre can also be used in beverage formulations, particularly smoothies and shakes as it serves as a thickening agent whilst also providing fibre content.
