Fiber content higher than carbs?

I have found i chickpea root syrup, it tastes good and claims to have protein/fat - 0 grams, carbs - 9 grams and fiber - 65,5 grams (all per 100 grams). What confuses me is that I thought is that fiber is a carb and a part of overall carbs, so should be less than 9 grams. Am I wrong?

Answer

Fiber isn’t a macronutrient (fats, proteins, carbs).

Its a micronutrient.

This should be noted: So while fiber is technically not considered a macronutrient, its importance should not be underestimated. Fiber’s role in promoting healthy digestion, detoxification, and blood sugar balance put it in the running for the title of “fourth macronutrient”.
