Give Your Daily Fibre Intake a Boost Closing the fibre gap

Dietary fibre has many health benefits, including promoting digestive health, keeping our blood sugar levels healthy, helping with healthy weight and possibly even improving bone health. To benefit from fibre health benefits, it is recommended that women should consume at least 25 gram and men 38 g fibre each day. Current intakes in South Africa are as low as 17g/day in women and 20g/day in men. Meeting daily fibre intake recommendations with foods that intrinsically contain fibre can be a challenge. For example, to get 25 grams of fibre, you would need to eat 21 slices of wheat bread, 1.5 kg of brown rice or almost 1 kg of broccoli. OR, you can start adding fibre to the foods and beverages youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already consuming. PROMITORÂŽ Soluble Fibre makes it easy to meet the recommended daily intake of fibre thanks to its clean taste, lack of grittiness and exceptional digestive tolerance. It is easy to use and can be stirred into your favourite foods and beverages.

Fibre by the numbers 1/3 or more of global consumers are trying to eat less fat, sugar and calories while eating more fibre and protein.1 44% of European and 50% of consumers in the Middle East want more fibre in their diets but only 25% report consuming it daily.1 Most EMEA consumers say that a lack of available products is the main reason given in both regions for not consuming fibre more often.1 Dietary surveys show that the majority of South Africans do not meet recommended intakes of dietary fibre.2 1 Qualtrics, Tate & Lyle Fibre A&U, 8800 respondents, 2015-2016. 2 Mchiza et al. Nutrients 2015, 7, 8227-8250.

How to use PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre is the ideal ingredient for fibre enrichment because it imparts little to no colour or off flavour and can easily be incorporated into food and drinks you are already consuming. Simply add one teaspoon twice a day to your favourite foods and drinks to give your daily fibre intake a boost. One teaspoon contains approximately 3 g of fibre and one tablespoon contains approximately 7 g of fibre.

Sourdough bread enriched with fibre Ingredients For the starter: 700 g strong white flour For the loaf: 400 g strong white flour, plus extra for dusting 6 tbsp PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp clear honey 300 g sourdough starter Flavourless oil, for greasing

Method 1. First, make your starter. In a large bowl, mix together 100g of the flour with 125ml slightly warm water. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free. 2. Transfer the starter to a large jar (a 1-litre Kilner jar is good) or a plastic container. Leave the jar or container lid ajar for 1 hr or so in a warm place (around 25°C is ideal), then seal and set aside for 24 hrs. 3. For the next 6 days, you will need to ‘feed’ the starter. Each day, tip away half of the original starter, add an extra 100g of flour and 125ml slightly warm water, and stir well. Try to do this at the same time every day. 4. After 3-4 days you should start to see bubbles appearing on the surface, and it will smell yeasty and a little acidic. This is a good indicator that the starter is working. 5. On day 7, the starter should be quite bubbly and smell much sweeter. It is now ready to be used in baking. 6. Tip the flour, PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre, 225ml warm water, the salt, honey and the starter into a bowl, or a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir with a wooden spoon, or on a slow setting in the machine, until combined – add extra flour if it’s too sticky or a little extra warm water if it’s too dry. 7. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 mins until soft and elastic – you should be able to stretch it without it tearing. If you‘re using a mixer, turn up the speed a little and mix for 5 mins. 8. Place the dough in a large, well-oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Leave in a warm place to rise for 3 hrs. You may not see much movement, but don’t be disheartened, as sourdough takes much longer to rise than a conventional yeasted bread. 9. Line a medium-sized bowl with a clean tea towel and flour it really well or, if you have a proving basket, you can use this (see tips below). 10. Tip the dough back onto your work surface and knead briefly to knock out any air bubbles. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and dust it with flour. 11. Place the dough, seam-side up, in the bowl or proving basket, cover loosely with a sheet of oiled cling film and leave at room temperature until roughly doubled in size. The time it takes for your bread to rise will vary depending on the strength of your starter and the temperature in the room, anywhere from 4-8 hrs. The best indicators are your eyes, so don’t worry too much about timings here. You can also prove your bread overnight in the refrigerator. Remove it in the morning and let it continue rising for another hour or 2 at room temperature. The slower the rise, the deeper the flavour you will achieve. 12. Place a large baking tray in the oven, and heat to 230°C/210°C fan/gas 8. Fill a small roasting tin with a little water and place this in the bottom of the oven to create steam. Remove the baking tray from the oven, sprinkle with flour, then carefully tip the risen dough onto the tray. 13. Slash the top a few times with a sharp knife, if you like, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown. After baking, your loaf will sound hollow when tapped on.
