What food has fiber?
Question:
Answers:
Soluble fiber is found in varying quantities in all plant foods, including:
legumes (peas, soybeans, and other beans)
oats, rye, chia, and barley
some fruits and fruit juices (particularly prune juice, plums and berries)
certain vegetables such as broccoli and carrots
root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions (skins of these vegetables are sources of insoluble fiber)
psyllium seed husk (a mucilage soluble fiber).
Legumes also typically contain shorter-chain carbohydrates indigestible by the human digestive tract but are metabolized by bacterial fermentation in the large intestine (colon), yielding short-chain fatty acids and gases (flatulence).
Sources of insoluble fiber include:
whole grain foods
bran
nuts and seeds
vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini, and celery
the skins of some fruits, including tomatoes
The five most fiber-rich plant foods, according to the Micronutrient Center of the Linus Pauling Institute, are legumes (15-19 grams of fiber per US cup serving, including several types of beans, lentils and peas), wheat bran (17 grams per cup), prunes (12 grams), Asian pear (10 grams each) (3.6% by weight), and quinoa (9 grams)[18].
Remarkable among plant foods, the Amazonian palmberry, açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), has been analyzed by two research groups reporting its content of dietary fiber is 25-44% of total mass in freeze-dried powder [19] [20] [21

Whole wheats, green leafy veggies, beans all good sources I eat grape nuts cerial in the morning it has 7grams of fiber but there are many other good cerials out there that are a good source. remember when you increase your fiber intake make sure you get plenty of fluids to help things move along. The best thing about a diet high in fiber is it makes you feel full longer so you are not as hungrey as quickly after you eat
