Siberian fiber Super Lingonberry 300 g

What Siberi Fiber Superbrusnika is

Siberi Fiber Superbrusnika is a blend of natural plant fibre with whole lingonberries from the Siberian taiga. The base is made from oat and rye bran combined with dried lingonberry fruit, giving a tart, slightly sweet flavour and a noticeable berry aroma. People usually choose this product as a simple way to add more fibre to their meals when fresh fruit and vegetables are not always at hand.

What it is made of

• Oat and rye bran — plant fibre, the part of grains, berries and vegetables that the human body does not digest. Instead, it passes through the intestines, absorbs water, swells and adds volume to the contents of the gut. This mechanical action helps the intestines move regularly. The soluble fraction of bran also serves as food for the friendly bacteria living in the colon, which ferment it and produce short-chain fatty acids — compounds important for the gut lining.
• Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) — a small evergreen shrub that grows in the cool forests and bogs of Northern Europe and Siberia. The berries have been used in Baltic and Scandinavian food tradition for centuries, both fresh and dried. They are naturally rich in polyphenols and organic acids, which give the lingonberry its sharp taste and deep red colour. Together with bran, the dried berries make the fibre tastier and easier to include in food without extra sugar.

How to fit it into your meals

• stir a spoonful into yoghurt, kefir or fermented milk drinks;
• add to porridge, muesli or smoothies in the morning;
• mix into cottage cheese, baked goods or homemade granola;
• sprinkle over fruit salads for a tart accent.

Good to know

Siberi Fiber Superbrusnika suits anyone who wants more variety in their diet, eats few whole grains, or simply enjoys the taste of Northern berries. It is a food product, not a medicine. Increase the amount gradually and drink enough water — fibre works only when there is liquid for it to absorb. If you have a chronic digestive condition or take prescribed medication, consult your doctor before adding concentrated bran to your menu.
