HK Concentrated Fiber Technology
The HK line of wheat fiber concentrates is made with a unique, patented technology that produces concentrates that are an excellent, stable source of fiber and protein. They have a clean taste profile and unique water binding properties. These unique water-binding properties can help reduce cost and improve finished products by increasing the moistness of the finished product, and/or can improve the product shelf life by reducing the product's water activity. The HK family of wheat fiber concentrates is made solely from the wheat kernel. They absorb and bind water, releasing it slowly. The R & D developments to date include three issued worldwide patents.

NON GMO

No Sugar Added
We label our "sugar free" products No Sugar Added. There is some small amount of sugar in many ingredients so there ends up being some sugar in our "no sugar added" products (generally less than 0.5%). It could be misleading to say they are sugar free. There are U.S. guidelines for consumer products that do allow for some small amount of naturally occurring sugar to be present in a finished product from sources other than sugars or fruit and to be called sugar free. We, of course, leave that labeling up to our customers.

Lo Net Carbs
The "low carbohydrate" products are labeled as Lo Net Carbs. The industry, not the FDA, has determined that the carbohydrates "Atkins" dieters need to be concerned about are not carbohydrates from dietary fiber or sugar alcohols (maltitol,sorbitol, mannitol, etc.). So, the industry, not sanctioned by the FDA, came up with the Lo Net Carb labeling. Our Lo Net Carb products have about 20% net carbs and about 75% to 85% actual carbohydrates. Net carbohydrates = total carbohydrates minus carbohydrates from dietary fiber and sugar alcohols.
