Produce Description:

Dietary fiber is the indigestible portion of food acquired from plants. There are two main components: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and slow the movement of food through the body. Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, help to regulate the digestive system and accelerate the movement of food through the body.

Dietary fiber helps to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, diverticular disease, constipation, and colon cancer. Additionally, it helps to lower cholesterol levels. Fiber can be found in whole grains, oats, legumes and beans, as well as fruits and vegetables.
