@akash Dietary fiber is the name given to the non-digestible carbohydrates in plants. It can be found in all plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. It’s usually categorized into two groups, based on solubility: Insoluble fiber: Found in wheat bran, vegetables and whole grains. Soluble fiber: Found in oat bran, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils and peas, as well as some fruits and vegetables. That said, most fiber-rich foods contain a mixture of insoluble and soluble fiber in varying proportions. Even though your body can’t digest fiber, eating enough of it is thought to be very important for your gut health. This is partly because dietary fiber increases the size of your stools and makes them softer.
