Kfibre™ is a complex fibre made from sugarcane with most of the sucrose removed. This chemical-free process preserves the cell wall components and results in a high 87 per cent content of total dietary fibre with prebiotic effects. Such fibre contains both soluble and insoluble fractions in addition to retaining complex micronutrients and polyphenols.
