Fiber content refers to the amount of dietary fiber present in food, which is a type of carbohydrate that the body cannot digest. It is essential for digestive health, helping to regulate bowel movements, lower cholesterol levels, and control blood sugar levels. Foods high in fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. The recommended daily intake of fiber varies, but it is generally around 25 grams for adult women and 38 grams for adult men.
