# Fibre Rich Foods Guide

FIBRE-RICH FOODS GUIDE Nutrition Reference  Educational Use Values are approximate per 100g and can vary by preparation and variety. Page 1 Fibre-Rich Foods Guide 20 Foods Across Grains, Legumes, Vegetables, Fruits & Seeds Fibre supports digestion, gut health, and steadier blood sugar — but not all foods carry the same amount. This guide lists 20 fibre-rich foods across five food groups, colour-coded by category, with approximate fibre content per 100g and a quick note on why or how to include each one. Colour Key Grains & Millets Legumes Vegetables Fruits Nuts & Seeds The 20 Foods Food Group Fibre / 100g Why / How to Include It 1. Oats (Rolled, Dry) Grains & Millets 10.6 g One of the best-studied fibre sources; its beta-glucan also supports healthy cholesterol. 2. Barley (Dry) Grains & Millets 17.3 g Also rich in beta-glucan, similar to oats; works well in soups or as a rice substitute. 3. Ragi / Finger Millet (Flour) Grains & Millets 11.5 g A traditional millet that adds fibre and calcium; use in dosas, rotis, or porridge. 4. Brown Rice (Cooked) Grains & Millets 1.8 g Retains the fibre-rich bran layer that's stripped from white rice during polishing. 5. Chickpeas / Chana (Cooked) Legumes 7.6 g High in both fibre and plant protein; works well in curries or as roasted chana. 6. Rajma / Kidney Beans (Cooked) Legumes 6.4 g A filling, protein-and-fibre-rich addition to rice-based meals. 7. Moong Dal / Lentils (Cooked) Legumes 7.9 g An everyday staple that's already fibre-rich — no extra effort needed to include it. 8. Soya Chunks (Dry) Legumes 13 g Extremely fibre- and protein-dense; soak and cook into curries or stir-fries. 9. Broccoli (Cooked) Vegetables 2.6 g Also rich in antioxidants; steam lightly to preserve both fibre and nutrients. 10. Carrots (Raw) Vegetables 2.8 g A crunchy, easy way to add fibre raw, juiced, or cooked into poriyal. 11. Sweet Potato (With Skin, Cooked) Vegetables 3.3 g Keep the skin on when cooking — a meaningful share of the fibre sits there. 12. Drumstick / Moringa Pods (Cooked) Vegetables 3.2 g A traditional favourite in sambar, offering fibre alongside calcium and iron. 13. Guava Fruits 5.4 g One of the highest-fibre common fruits — a great everyday snack.

Pear (With Skin) Fruits 3.1 g Contains natural sorbitol along with fibre, supporting smoother digestion. 15. Apple (With Skin) Fruits 2.4 g Contains pectin, a soluble fibre linked to gut and cholesterol health. 16. Pomegranate Fruits 4 g Fibre-rich seeds along with a strong antioxidant profile. 17. Banana Fruits 2.6 g A portable, easy source of fibre — slightly unripe bananas offer even more resistant starch. 18. Chia Seeds Nuts & Seeds 34 g One of the most fibre-dense foods that exists; soak before eating for easier digestion. 19. Flax Seeds Nuts & Seeds 27 g Best consumed ground, since whole seeds often pass through undigested. 20. Almonds Nuts & Seeds 12.5 g A convenient snack-sized fibre source, best soaked overnight for easier digestion. Daily target: Most adults benefit from roughly 25-30g of fibre a day. Spread intake across meals (a grain, a legume, a fruit or vegetable in each) rather than trying to get it all from one food, and increase fibre gradually alongside more water to avoid bloating. Note: Fibre values are approximate averages and can vary by variety, ripeness, and how the food is cooked or processed.
