This venerable vegetable has been grown for centuries and is prized today for its many qualities!<\/p>\n<p>A traditional and healthy vegetable grown sustainably and in an environmentally friendly manner, it&#8217;s a plant rich in nutrients that is used to produce Actilight\u00ae Fibre via a bioconversion process inspired by nature.<\/p>\n<h3>About sugar beet<\/h3>\n<p>Sugar beet is grown for its fleshy root used mainly to produce sugar. Sugar is formed in its leaves through photosynthesis and then stored in the root.<\/p>\n<h3>Sugar beet growing<\/h3>\n<p>Sugar beet is produced here in Europe. In France, we grow the sugar beet used to make Actilight\u00ae Fibre in the northern regions of Normandy and Picardy because it needs a wet, temperate climate. It&#8217;s a delicate plant that needs good soil that is rich and deep.<\/p>\n<h3>Bioconversion of sugar beet into fibre<\/h3>\n<p>Tereos produces the oligofructose Actilight\u00ae Fibre from sugar beet, using a bioconversion process inspired by nature. Fibre is obtained from the sugar extracted from sugar beet. As during fermentation, sugar is converted by an enzyme produced by a fungus, carefully selected by Tereos for its natural ability to convert sugar into fibre. Of course, we do not use GMOs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1153 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1.png 3000w, https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1-768x162.png 768w, https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1-1030x218.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1-1500x317.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1-705x149.png 705w, https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/sugar-beet-to-fibre-actilight-1-450x95.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More generally, oligofructose (also known as fructooligosaccharides) is found naturally in foods such as wheat, barley, rye, asparagus, bananas, artichokes, garlic, onions and many others. Actilight\u00ae Fibre is a fibre concentrate. One teaspoon of Actilight\u00ae contains the quantity of fibre found in 10 bananas, 700\u00a0g of rye or 40 cloves of garlic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-500","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1152,"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/500\/revisions\/1152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.actilight.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
