Unfortunately, it's not all those packaged, processed foods that claim that they all kinds of fiber that are the best sources. It's beans, peas, split peas, what we call the legume group. The healthiest cultures in the world all eat at least 1 legume. In our culture we're lucky if anybody ever eats any unless they're from the deep South, perhaps and have black-eyed peas once or twice a year for a special occasion. We should be eating legumes at least 4-5 times a week. The other foods that are very high in fiber are fruits vegetables, and whole grains in general. All of the whole grains. I'm not talking about rice crispies, or corn flakes, where box has more fiber than they do. I'm talking about real whole grains - wheatberries, quinoa, millet, buckwheat. They taste so scrumptious when you cook them up. You can have them for breakfast as a cereal, you can have them in the evening with your meal. They are whole grains. Every healthy culture eats a whole grain 7 times a day. We avoid that out of fear of carbohydrates and yet those are great sources of fiber.
