What is "cellulose"?
Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate, specifically a polysaccharide, that forms the structural component of plant cell walls. It is made up of long chains of glucose molecules linked together, providing strength and rigidity to plant cells. While cellulose is indigestible by humans and most animals due to their lack of enzymes capable of breaking it down, it serves as dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting bowel regularity. Cellulose is found in high amounts in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
