To support getting the most bang for your buck fiber-wise, it’s also important to understand what to look for on the nutrition facts label. A food that has 3 g of dietary fiber per 100 g serving, OR is equal to or greater than 10% of the Daily Value (DV) per serving, can be considered a good source of fiber.6 If the dietary fiber per serving is 20% DV or more, the food is then considered high fiber.6
The image of the nutrition label below helps illustrate a food that would be considered high fiber since 6.7 g of fiber per serving is 27% DV.
It’s best to aim for choosing high-fiber foods, but eating foods that are a “good source” of fiber is also encouraged!
