General Information:

Apple fiber is a light brown powder typically made from dried apple pomace, the pulp leftover after apples is processed for juice, cider, and other products. It is naturally high in fiber, although the types and amounts vary based on which part of the apple is used and how the product is processed.

Apple fiber tastes mildly sweet and tangy with just a hint of apple flavor and has a slightly grainy texture. When mixed with water, it absorbs moisture and takes on an applesauce-like consistency. Most people use apple fiber as a supplement, but it can also be used as a flour alternative in baking and as a thickener for sauces and soups.

Apple fiber powder is used primarily to enhance bowel functioning and to aid in the removal of toxic substances in the digestive tract. This fibrous powder attaches to carcinogenic toxins and heavy metal trace elements and then escorts them out of the body. Like all fiber, it adds substance to stool and normalizes the digestive process; both constipation and diarrhea are effectively treated with apple fiber powder.

How to use:
