Fiber-Rich Foods

01

Artichoke hearts

These nutritious, earthy vegetables are underestimated. Fiber, vitamin K, folate, and liver health are their benefits.

02

Whole-wheat pasta

Whole grains provide fiber and are often maligned. They contain phytonutrients, which may prevent disease. 

03

Barley

Taylor says barley is tasty but ignored. It's a crunchy, nutty whole grain packed of vitamins and minerals. It's also filling, preventing overeating.

04

Pears

Fiber-rich early winter fruits. Taylor believes pears include more soluble fiber than other fruits, which slows digestion and decreases cholesterol.

05

Haas avocados

Haas avocados provide healthful fats. Unlike other fiber-rich foods, they're condiments!

06

Green peas

These tiny, colorful legumes are nourishing. Complex carbs have antioxidants, vitamins A, K, and B6, and 4 grams of plant-based protein every half cup.

07

Edamame

Edamame—immature soybeans—taste mellow, feel wonderful, and have tons of fiber. 

08

Brussels sprouts

Try Brussels sprouts again. Fiber, vitamin C, and K are in this cruciferous vegetable. “Brussels sprouts rock,” says Taylor.

09

Ground flaxseed

Flaxseeds are microscopic superfoods. Taylor explains, “These fantastic, fiber-rich seeds are full of protein and phytonutrients.

10

Pinto beans

These multipurpose beans are healthful and versatile. They're high in fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals.
