Low-carb dieters can use it alone or in a homemade flour blend to lower the carbohydrate content of baked goods without sacrificing quality.

NuNaturals Oat Fiber is made by grinding the indigestible hull that is separated from oat groats (the edible portion) during harvest (In contrast, oat flour is made by grinding the edible portion to a powder). Dietary fiber can be comprised of insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, and/or soluble fiber, which does dissolve in water.
