What is Sunfiber?
Sunfiber, also known as Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) or Guar Fiber, is a galactomannan based soluble dietary fiber made from guar beans. It is a versatile powder that can be easily added to a wide variety of foods, beverages and supplements. Sunfiber does not negatively impact the flavor, color, texture, or aroma of the products to which it is added. It offers an easy way to increase fiber in the diet using consumers favorite foods and beverages.

What's the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber?
Soluble fiber dissolves in water and is fermented by gut bacteria, while insoluble fiber primarily adds bulk. Both play complementary roles in digestion.

- Soluble fibers are often preferred in sensitive populations

What is the difference between guar gum and Sunfiber (guar fiber)?
Guar gum is a water soluble carbohydrate derived from the guar plant seed. It is used throughout the food industry for its superior thickening, gelling, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties as a result of its high viscosity. While guar gum and Sunfiber (guar fiber) come from the same plant, Sunfiber has a low viscosity and is used to add fiber to various foods and dietary supplements.
