Dietary Fiber

What is Dietary Fiber?

Dietary fibers are the indigestible portion of plant foods that move food through the digestive system, absorbing water and easing defecation. Dietary fiber consists of non-starch polysaccharides such as cellulose and many other plant components such as dextrins, inulin, lignin, waxes, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans and oligosaccharides.
