- NuNaturals - NuGrains Oat Fiber - 5 lb. (2270 g) NuNaturals NuGrains Oat Fiber introduces a great way to increase the fiber in your diet. NuGrains Oat Fiber is a great addition to your favorite recipes. It is naturally produced from food-grade oat hulls through a proprietary process. This is a chemical-free process, turning organic hulls into various organic fibers. Oat fiber has many uses in baked goods, adding to smoothies, porridge, and other recipes where you want to boost the fiber content of the foods your eat. Good Source of Fiber Delicous Nutty Taste Unsoluble Fiber Chemical Free Sugar Free Low In Carbohydrates, Cholesterol and Sodium The Two Forms of Stevia There are 2 forms of Stevia that are presently sold in the US. One is approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA and the other as a sweetener. NuNaturals sells both forms. All of NuNaturals other Stevia products are dietary supplements. Why continue to sell Stevia as a dietary supplement? The answer is complex. The form of Stevia that is FDA approved as a sweetener is an extract of Stevia that contains greater than 95% of rebaudiosides, a component of the Stevia extract. The reasons are complex why the FDA has approved one form but not the other seeing how both forms have a good deal of research regarding safety. The main reason seems to be that the rebaudioside extract is seen as an isolated compound of Stevia whereas the dietary supplement form is more of a whole extract comprising of all the components of the Stevia extract. The FDA traditionally prefers to approve single components versus multiple component compounds. NuNaturals will continue to offer the dietary supplement form based on the steviosides extract (more of a whole plant extract) for 2 reasons, taste and cost. They also believe based on safety studies and population use for decades by a very large number of people that the stevioside form of Stevia is safe. Their dietary supplement form of Stevia has a superior taste to the rebaudioside extract. The rebaudioside extracts have a lingering somewhat unpleasant aftertaste. NuNaturals NuStevia dietary supplement products do not have any unpleasant lingering aftertastes. Most people prefer their NuStevia dietary supplement extracts to any other Stevia extract on the market including other dietary supplement forms of the Stevia extract. Because the cost of the stevioside extract is about 7 times less expensive than the rebaudioside extract, the cost per serving is less for the dietary supplement form versus the sweetener form of Stevia when considering sweetening power of both. In order to get the same sweetness from rebaudioside products on the market, you would have to use 2-3 packets to get the sweetness of 2 tsp of sugar. With NuNaturals NuStevia packets, you would only need to use 1 packet to taste the same sweetness. What natural flavors does NuNaturals use and why? NuNaturals uses natural flavors that are plant based extracts. These extracts help to increase the sense of sweetness and rounds out the flavor of their NuStevia as well as Pure Liquid Clear Stevia, Vanilla Stevia and Alcohol Free products. From endless consumer feedback, they know that people regard their NuStevia products as the best tasting and sweetest products on the market. Even though they are selling Stevia as a dietary supplement, they know taste is very important to people. The natural flavors are natural plant extracts from herbs and berries. These natural flavors do not contain any MSG (monosodium glutamate) or any other "natural flavors" that are known to cause allergic reactions in the body. NuNaturals does scrutinize the ingredients that they use very carefully and would not use an ingredient known to cause reactions. NuNaturals does not wish to disclose the source of the natural flavor because it is a trade secret. They have spent a lot of time researching and developing the best tasting Stevia products on the market and do not wish to share this information with other c
