What is indigestible by humans?
Some examples of things that are generally considered indigestible by humans include cellulose (a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls), certain types of fibers (such as insoluble fibers), and certain parts of animals that are difficult to break down (such as bones and cartilage). Additionally, some substances like plastic or metals are not meant to be ingested and are indigestible by the human digestive system.

Which nutrient is indigestible?
Cellulose (plant fiber)
What is indigestible material made of?
Indigestible material is primarily made up of insoluble fiber. This plant materials adds bulk to the feces.
Why does your stool have whole food in it?
Well, it may not really be whole food, but undigested parts of food. This is most likely some type of plant matter which can be high in cellulose, an indigestible carbohydrate. This most often happens to whole kernel corn. The outer husk is very hard to digest in the human digestive tract.
Where did natural plant fibers originate?
