Natural fibres for food

All fibres are 100% natural, insoluble and clean label powders, without chemical treatment and without additives.  All our fibres were designed for the fast-growing market of food producers who want to create healthy natural recipes with high fibre content.

  • m10 – super fine powder with particles size around 10 μm – dedicated for products where smoothness is very important
  • m20 – standard fibre powder with particles size around 20 μm – suitable for most of applications
  • m40 – coarse fibre powder with particles size around 40 μm – dedicated for products where smoothness is not important
  • s400 – coarse fibre powder with particles size around 400 μm – dedicated for products where higher water absorption is important
  • s600 – coarse fibre powder with particles size around 600 μm – dedicated for products where higher water absorption is important

Cocoa fibre is available in granulation m10, m20, m40. Cereal fibres are available in one typical granulation which is around 40-150 microns.

All our fibres are offered with 2 years of shelf life and are Kosher certified.
