Raw fruits and vegetables, whole wheat, and other whole grains. In fact, all dietary fiber is found only in plant foods: fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains.

Removing seeds, peels, or hulls also reduces fiber content. Whole tomatoes have more fiber than peeled tomatoes, which have more than tomato juice.
