Other Fiber Sources

Posted by Labels:
There are several other rather surprising sources of fiber. These aren’t where you’ll get the majority of your fiber, but if you can pick up a few grams while indulging in something you like, why not?

• Coffee—Coffee contains between 1 gram per serving for filtered coffee and up to almost 2 grams for instant coffee.
• Chocolate—An ounce of chocolate candy contains almost 2 grams of fiber.
• Spices—A teaspoon of spice may contain up to a gram of fiber. In addition, some spices like fennel, cayenne, cumin, and turmeric have been shown to improve digestion and reduce gas and bloating.
