Ingredient Overview
Bamboo fibre is an insoluble plant fibre used to add bulk and structure. Its role in a recipe is primarily physical, rather than providing the viscosity of a soluble gum.
Because it remains as insoluble material, bamboo fibre can influence the structure and body of a food. It can be explored in bakery and savoury recipes where a fine fibre powder is useful. The ingredient’s contribution is tied to how its particles interact with water and the surrounding food matrix.
