Why does the cellulose appear in Food?

A food-grade cellulose is used for thickening, stabilizing, and improving texture. While it's a safe and approved food additive used to improve food texture and add fiber, excessive consumption can cause bloating, gas, and stomach cramps.

Foods Naturally Rich in Cellulose

The human body naturally consumes cellulose as a component of the cell walls in plant-based foods.

  • Fruits:
    Apples, berries, and oranges contain cellulose, with apples being particularly high in it.

  • Vegetables:
    Broccoli, green beans, carrots, and potatoes are good sources of cellulose.

  • Whole Grains:
    Cereals, whole wheat bread, and bran cereals are rich in cellulose.

  • Beans and Nuts:
    Kidney beans and other nuts are also good sources.
