Soluble & Insoluble Fiber Foods

Soluble fiber is important for the management of blood cholesterol and keeping cancer away.



Soluble fiber has no calories because it fully passes through the body. Soluble fiber is not found in foods like bran and raw leafy green vegetables. Foods appearing fiberous need not be high in fiber like lettuce. The whole grains, cereal foods, fruits, vegetables and nuts, in general, are good sources of soluble fibers.
