    Hi @hanan-alem

    Inulin powder is a soluble fiber found in various vegetables such as chicory, asparagus, and garlic. It is a type of carbohydrate that the body cannot digest, so it passes to the intestine where it acts as a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria.

    In cooking, inulin powder is used for several reasons:

    1. Texture and Consistency: It can improve the texture of baked goods and dairy products, making them creamier and thicker.

    2. Sweetener:It has a slightly sweet taste, so it can be used as a partial sugar substitute in some recipes.

    3. Fiber: It increases the fiber content of foods without significantly affecting their taste or texture.

    4. Calorie Reduction: It helps reduce the calories in food products by replacing some of the sugar and fats.

    It is especially useful in low-calorie products and for those looking to increase their fiber intake.

    Greetings.
