Re: foods with inulin and cooking

[Guest guest]

When I started with sugar-free inulin and boiled the crap out of it in

the microwave to gel it, it did get more sweet. Similarly, when you

roast onions or thistle root, they get sweeter as the inulin breaks

down a little

But boiling at a normal temperature doesn't break inulin down much,

and I think that'a how the inulin is extracted in the factory.

It's not a waste.
