Dietary fibre is an essential nutrient that supports digestive health, regulates blood sugar, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. According to the American dietary guidelines, individuals aged two years and older should consume 14 grams of fibre for every 1,000 calories consumed daily. Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist trained at AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford, has identified 10 high-fibre foods that are not vegetables. These include chia seeds, black seeds, lentils, chickpeas, raspberries, blackberries, pears with skin, oats, quinoa, and black beans, each providing significant fibre content.
