When you think fibre, you probably think Just Right cereal, dried prunes or Digestive Biscuits, right? Turns out, it’s actually veg!
Nutrition Australia recommends adult men eat 30 g per day and adult women eat 25 g per day. A prune will get you 0.7 g, while that bowl of Just Right gives you 4.1 g (and almost 3 teaspoons of sugar). Here are some better sources.
1. Artichoke.
1 cooked medium-sized artichoke has a whopping 10.3 g of fibre. Get some artichokey goodness via our Jerusalem Artichoke with Farro and Hazelnut Salad.
2. Peas.
1 cup of cooked peas has 8.8 g of fibre. You can add them to practically anything, like these Pea Pancakes.
3. Broccoli.
1 cup of boiled broccoli has 5.1 g of fibre. Whip up a batch of this Broccoli Tabouli next time you’re expecting guests.
4. Brussels sprouts.
1 cup of boiled Brussels sprouts has 4.1 g of fibre. As the weather cool down Down Under, we’ll be making some Winter Vegetable Saute with Prosciutto and Hazelnuts to get our fill.
5. Turnips.
½ cup of boiled turnips has 4.8 g of fibre. And they’re not just for dinner! Pack your morning with veg with this Breakfast Casserole.
