About the Recipe
This recipe is high in fibre. Australians are recommended to consume 25-30g or fibre per day. Fibre is an essential macronutrient important for our digestive health. It keeps you feeling fuller for longer, stabilises your blood sugar levels and can even lower cholesterol preventing the risk of chronic disease. Resistant fibres- these are the ones that are not digested in the small intestine but rather move undigested to the large intestine where they are then fermented to produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These anti-inflammatory metabolites fuel our colonocytes allowing the beneficial gut microbes to thrive- we call these probiotics!
