polymers of fructose naturally produced by 15% of flowering plant species, consist of inulin (prebiotic), inulo-n-oses, and other selected vegetable fibers.
Some species such as artichoke (Cynara scolymus) and globe thistle (Echinops ritro) store fructans with a considerably higher degree of polymerization than the one observed in chicory (Cichorium intybus) and Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus). Fructans are a type of FODMAPs.
