Water-soluble corn fiber and oligofructose (a type of fructooligosaccharide, or FOS) are used here as dietary fibers and sweetening components. They help provide the cookie's structure and sweetness without relying solely on sugar or flour, which contributes to keeping the available carbohydrates relatively low for this type of product. These soluble fibers can also influence the texture, making the soufflé filling soft and the overall product less crumbly than a traditional biscuit.
For the consumer, this means the cookie may have a less pronounced impact on blood sugar compared to a conventional sweet snack, though individual responses vary. It's important to note that consuming higher amounts of these fibers, especially oligofructose, can sometimes cause digestive discomfort (like bloating or gas) in sensitive individuals. It's best to enjoy this product in reasonable amounts, particularly if you are new to high-fiber snacks or have a sensitive stomach.
