What Fruit Has the Most Fiber?

What Fruit Has the Most Fiber?


Dietary fiber promotes digestive health & keeps you fuller longer.
 
Bananas? Or pears?

The Answer is Pears! 

Pears contain 4g of fiber,  nearly twice that of bananas at 2.6g!

Another Fiber Face-Off: Raspberries or Prunes?

Which has more fiber: A cup of raspberries, or 5 canned prunes?
Raspberries? Or prunes?

The Answer is Raspberries!

Raspberries have 8.4g of fiber while prunes, well-known to help keep you regular, have 3.3g fiber per serving(canned) & 3g(dried).  As a matter of fact, Raspberries have the highest fiber content of all fruits!

Fruit is a good source of dietary fiber. Fiber, besides preventing constipation, can lower the risk of diabetes as well as heart disease. According to MayoClinic.com, dietary fiber is not digested by the body, which makes it beneficial. It traps the toxins in the body & helps to eliminate them! Many fruits such as raspberries, avocados, apples, blueberries, oranges & bananas are excellent sources high in fiber.
In addition to eating healthy, I get my fiber from Fiber N Mor® from Omnitrition®.  Fiber N Mor® contains psyllium husk & is designed to help you maintain a healthy digestive tract!  Fiber N Mor® helps with various intestinal issues including, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease.

The average adult needs 21 to 38 grams of dietary fiber daily. Raspberries are high in fiber, containing 17 grams per cup, more than half the recommended daily amount. A healthy diet with high fiber helps to regulate the digestive system, lower blood cholesterol levels, control blood sugar levels and aid in weight loss. Raspberries have other benefits: They are a great source of antioxidants, which can help prevent damage to cells from free radicals. The high amount of vitamin C contributes to the antioxidant activity.
Omnitrition® has their very own antioxidant, Shield®!  Antioxidants help protect the body from harmful free radicals & toxins, that cause damage to cells, thereby leading to such infections & various degenerative diseases like heart disease & cancer. Everyone should take antioxidants! They are, also, beneficial to people who suffer from allergies & chronic sinus infections.

Competition to Raspberries:

  • Avocados, second to raspberries, have 14g of fiber per cup.
  • Blueberries, related to raspberries, have 8grams.
  • One orange has 6g of fiber.
  • An apple with the skin has 7grams.
  • And one banana has 5g of fiber.

Considerations:

  • One cup of raspberries has only 60 calories & less than 1 gram of fat!
  • Avocados have 22 grams of fat & 235 calories per cup. But avocado's high fat content is mostly monounsaturated fat, which can help lower cholesterol.
  • Oranges, apples, blueberries & bananas are low in calories & fat.
