It can be consumed by adding it in morning cereal, yogurt, or by blending it into smoothies.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market for prebiotic ingredients from 2017 to 2023. Key markets in the Asia Pacific region include China, India, Japan, and Australia. The growth in this region is attributed to the rapid economic growth which is driving the demand for quality food & beverage and feed, especially in China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and South Korea, which, in turn, drives the demand for prebiotic ingredients.
