What are Oligosaccharides?
Oligosaccharides are special sugars found in some foods that encourage the beneficial bifido and lactic acid bacteria in our stomachs. Oligosaccharides are known as “prebiotics” because they stimulate the bacteria to carry out their important work in aiding our digestion. Some honeys (especially honeydew) contain significant levels of “oligosaccharides”.
