Hardest food for a human to digest?

There are a few top contenders, but it is suspected that the hardest food for a human to digest is bread. In order to digest food, enzymes are needed, which are secreted by the pancreas. Because bread has no naturally occurring enzymes (unlike a lot of other food) the pancreas has to work exceptionally hard, producing extra enzymes to break down the bread. Other food products that are hard to digest include pork, beans, broccoli and whole-milk hard cheese.
