List of High Fiber Content in Foods - Fruits, Vegetables, and Cereals
Apple
Apples have 5 grams of fiber
Raw apples are a delicious high fiber snack. Just wash and eat and your guts will thank you for it. Keeping fresh fruit in the house is a good way to increase the fiber in your diet.
Pears have 5 grams of fiber
Pears are another source of fiber in fruit. I enjoy slicing a pair up into four slices and eating it raw as well. The key to getting a great pear is letting it ripen so they are just a tad soft.

Comments
I am so surprised that raspberries are so high in fiber! I wonder if raw foods, such as carrots, have the same fiber content cooked.
I think cooking vegetables takes out some of the good stuff in them, but I don't know what the reduction value is, but isn't fiber non digestable. It seems to reason, although I don't know, that cooking them would increase the percentage of fiber.
Paul, my favorite is kidney beans, served with basmati rice and homemade sweet yogurt. The juice of the kidney beans makes a wonderful soup base, too.
I found a webpage of video notes for the video "GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW MILLENIUM - FIBRE," produced by Video Education Australasia. The article can be found at:
http://www.veavideo.com/teachersNotes/GUESS22.PDF
According to the video notes, "Cooking foods does not reduce their fiber content, but cooking does make some foods more palatable and digestible. Much of the fiber is in the skins of fruit and vegetables."
It seems reasonable to me that you can't destroy fiber in food, so long as one can still CONSUME essentially the same amount of food (minus water loss) after all the soaking, boiling, poaching, baking, blanching, broiling, sauteeing, fricaseeing, stir frying, deep frying, skewering, and barbecuing!
Love kidney beans, and chick peas
I wonder what is more favorable fruits that are higherin fiber thanothers or fruits that have more anti-oxidants..fibrousruits takes out pollutants in the body and anti-oxidants helps combat them.. correct me if I am wrong.
