prebiotic
Fiber for bacteria
Prebiotic describes substances that promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms, especially in the digestive system.
Prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, and bananas contain fibers that feed gut bacteria: She added prebiotic supplements to her diet.
In a different sense, prebiotic refers to conditions or chemistry existing before the origin of life: prebiotic Earth, prebiotic molecules.
