Dietary Fiber: Types and Food Sources

What is dietary fiber?
Dietary fiber includes carbohydrates in foods that are not broken down by human digestive enzymes in the small intestine. Different fibers have different physical properties.
Food sources
Beans, lentils, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts and seeds offer a variety of fibers. Whole foods also contain additional nutrients.
