What it is
A single-ingredient fibre powder. Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre found naturally in chicory root. Nothing Naughty extracts it into a fine, unflavoured powder — nothing else is added. Because it is soluble, it dissolves in water rather than staying gritty, so it stirs cleanly into cold drinks and mixes through food and baking without changing how they taste.
An easy way to add fibre to your day. A level teaspoon (5g) is the everyday serve. It is unflavoured and almost invisible once mixed, so you can add it to a smoothie, coffee, water, yoghurt or a baking mix without it taking over.
What's in a 5g serve
The full on-pack panel — per 5g serve and per 100g — is in the Supplement Facts tab. Here is the quick read per teaspoon serve:
| Ingredient | Form |
|---|---|
| Inulin powder (from chicory root) | 100% |
Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre. Under NZ/Australian food labelling, dietary fibre is reported separately from available carbohydrate, so it does not appear inside the carbohydrate figure above.
How to use
- Add a teaspoon. Stir 1 teaspoon (5g) into a smoothie, shake, coffee, water or other cold drink.
- Or mix it through food. Sprinkle over food or fold it into a baking recipe — it dissolves rather than clumps.
- Ease in over the first fortnight. The pack recommends starting with 2–3g a day for the first 1–2 weeks, then building up to 5g or more a day.
- Drink water and store it dry. Have it with plenty of water and keep the tub in a cool, dry place.

FAQ
What is inulin?
Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre found naturally in chicory root. This product is 100% inulin powder — a single ingredient, with nothing else added. Being soluble means it dissolves in water rather than staying gritty, so it stirs cleanly into cold drinks and mixes through food.
What does it taste like?
It is unflavoured, with only a faint natural sweetness, and it has little impact on the taste or texture of whatever you add it to. Once stirred into a cold drink it dissolves and is almost unnoticeable, which is why it suits smoothies, coffee, water and baking.
How do I use it?
Add 1 teaspoon (5g) to a smoothie, shake, coffee, water or other cold beverage, or sprinkle it over food or use it in baking. The pack recommends starting with 2–3g a day for the first 1–2 weeks, then building up to 5g or more a day, with plenty of water.
Why start with a smaller amount?
The pack recommends easing in — 2–3g a day for the first 1–2 weeks — before building up to 5g or more a day. Adding any new fibre to your diet gradually, alongside plenty of water, is a sensible way to let your routine adjust.
Is it low-carb or keto-friendly?
Each 5g teaspoon serve has 0.4g of carbohydrate (0.4g of which is sugars) and 0mg sodium, per the on-pack panel, so it fits low-carb and keto eating patterns. Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre, which under NZ/Australian labelling is reported separately from available carbohydrate.
How many servings are in a tub?
A 250g tub holds 50 serves at one 5g teaspoon per day. The everyday serve is a level teaspoon; the pack suggests starting with 2–3g for the first 1–2 weeks and building up to 5g or more, so a tub lasts most people a little over seven weeks at the full serve.
Does it contain gluten or allergens?
The on-pack panel lists 0.0g gluten per serve. The only ingredient is inulin powder, so it contains no milk, tree nuts, soy, egg or sesame as ingredients — but it is packed in a facility that also processes those, so anyone with a severe allergy should take that into account and read the label.
This is a food, not a medicine. Add to a varied, balanced diet. Packed in a facility that also processes milk products, tree nuts, soy, egg and sesame seeds — if you have a severe allergy, please take this into account and always read the label on the pack.
