An edible product which contains microparticulated fiber derived from a fiber source preferably having an insoluble fiber content of at least about 2. 5%, hydrocolloid in an amount sufficient to maintain the fiber in suspension when the product is mixed with liquid to make an edible composition, and, except where a pudding-like consistency is desired, potable acid in an amount sufficient to lower the pH of the edible composition to a pH sufficient to avoid gelatinization of the composition. The product preferably contains sweetener and additional natural flavoring and the method of making the fiber-containing edible product includes adding to a volume of liquid less than the total volume, finely ground fiber to create a mixture, hydrating the fiber, adding additional liquid and hydrocolloid, treating the mixture to create microparticulated fiber, hydrate the hydrocolloid and a homogenized mixture and acidifying the mixture to a pH sufficient to avoid gelatinization of the mixture.
