Even though a cow's diet includes a lot of high-fiber feedstuffs, fluid milk contains no fiber. Yet fiber is an excellent ingredient to boost the nutrition of a wide range of dairy products and dairy alternatives. Let's explore the benefits of adding fiber to foods in the frozen and refrigerated dairy cases.

Back in November 2018, Innova Market Insights published its forecasted "Top 10 Trends for 2019." Among them was "a fresh look at fiber." That prediction was based, in part, on the fact that 44% of U.S. consumers said they were increasing their fiber consumption in a 2018 survey the global market research firm conducted.

The certified fibers are Versafibe 1940 and Novelose 3490.

Nutritionists recommend a daily fiber consumption of 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, but most people in the United States get only half that amount.
