Inulin is a PREBIOTIC only.
What are prebiotics?
Prebiotics are food for probiotics (the good bacteria in your gut).
When you make L. reuteri yoghurt, adding a prebiotichelps the L-Reuteri bacteria grow better and stay active, because:
Food source: L. reuteri needs certain fibers or sugars to thrive. Prebiotics like inulin, FOS, or potato starch give them that fuel.
Stronger fermentation: With prebiotics, the yoghurt ferments more consistently, thickens well, and the bacteria reach higher counts.
Better gut effect: When you eat the yoghurt, the bacteria already had good "food," so they survive better in your gut and can keep working.
In short: The prebiotic feeds the L. reuteri, making your yoghurt richer in healthy bacteria and more effective for gut health.
Temple Foods Inulin is a natural, plant-based prebiotic derived from chicory root. It is a soluble dietary fiber that feeds gut bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus reuteri and Bifidobacteria, helping them thrive and multiply.
When used in homemade probiotic yoghurt, especially in conjunction with L. reuteri starter cultures, Temple Foods Inulin acts as a powerful food source for the bacteria, enabling a richer, creamier, and more probiotic-dense yoghurt. It not only enhances the texture and taste of the yoghurt but also contributes to better fermentation results and longer-lasting bacterial viability.
