Oat Fiber

Oat fiber is a fine, powdery ingredient derived from the outer husk of oats, known for its neutral flavor and high dietary fiber content. It is pale beige in color and has a dry, lightweight texture, making it an excellent addition to recipes for boosting fiber without altering taste. As a gluten-free, low-carb, and calorie-free ingredient, oat fiber is a popular choice in keto, low-carb, and gluten-free baking. Its ability to absorb moisture and improve texture makes it a versatile addition to a variety of dishes.

Common Uses

  • Use oat fiber as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and gravies without adding calories or altering the flavor.
  • Incorporate oat fiber into smoothies or protein shakes for an easy way to boost dietary fiber intake.
  • Mix oat fiber into homemade pasta or dough recipes to enhance elasticity and structure while keeping them low-carb.
  • Use oat fiber as a filler in meatloaf, meatballs, or veggie patties to improve binding and texture without adding bulk calories.

Storage Tips

Store oat fiber in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its freshness and prevent clumping. If purchased in bulk, consider dividing it into smaller portions and sealing them tightly. Refrigeration is not necessary, but if you live in a humid climate, storing it in the fridge can help prevent moisture absorption. Always check for any signs of spoilage before use.
