What Does IDF Stand For?
IDF stands for Insoluble Dietary Fiber
Insoluble Dietary Fiber (IDF) is a type of fiber that does not dissolve in water and is primarily found in whole grains, nuts, seeds, and the skins of fruits and vegetables. It is an essential component of a healthy diet, promoting digestive health by adding bulk to the stool and facilitating regular bowel movements. IDF helps prevent constipation, may lower the risk of certain gastrointestinal disorders, and supports overall gut health. Unlike soluble fiber, IDF does not gel or thicken and plays a crucial role in enhancing satiety and managing weight.
