Better Health
Through Sustainably Sourced Fibre
NuFiba transforms agricultural waste into high-value prebiotic fiber, revolutionizing food and nutrition.
Revolutionising
Nutrition, Redefining Sustainability
At NuFiba, we transform agricultural waste into high value food and prebiotic food ingredients creating a sustainable environment.
Every year millions of tons of sugarcane bagasse, coconut and palm husks are burnt or discarded contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and decaying soil quality.
Our propriety Cellufibre range upcycles agricultural biomass into products that revolutionize personal health and nutrition.
