high fibre foods examples

Last reviewed 01/2018

This is not an extensive list, but it gives an approximate guide to some foods high in unabsorbable fibre:

• whole grain and bran-enriched breakfast cereals e.g. muesli, especially no added sugar type, all bran, shredded wheat
• wholemeal bread
• other wholewheat products e.g. pasta
• other whole grains e.g. brown rice
• pulses e.g. kidney beans, chick peas, 'baked beans'
• potatoes ideally eaten with skins
• fruit and vegetables - these are a relatively poor source of fibre compared to grains and pulses
