Legumes

However, keep in mind that just because a food is made with whole grains doesn’t guarantee it’s a good source of fiber. Look for grain products that are whole or fiber-fortified and contain at least 3g of fiber per serving. For instance, many foods that are “all bran” or bran-rich are also rich in fiber, as bran is where the goodness lies.

As a guide, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends women get 25g of fiber a day, while men should aim for 38 grams of fiber daily.
