Must-have High Fiber Fruits

Fruits are truly precious gifts from Mother Nature. Not only are they delicious to eat at any time of the day they are nutritious, healthy, wholesome, and lip-smacking as well. They also bring you tons of benefits. It’s not for nothing that we have plenty of motherhoods describing the benefits of fruits like “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” and “Bananas are nature’s natural flushing agents.” You just can’t go wrong by picking up a fruit and digging into it anytime your stomach grumbles out of hunger.

A Plethora of Goodness

Fruits are a source of many vital nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C, and folic acid while being low in sodium, fat, and calories. They also do not contain cholesterol. Best of all they are loaded with dietary fiber which reduces blood cholesterol and lowers the risk of contracting heart disease. Fiber also facilitates good bowel movement eliminating problems like constipation and diverticulosis. Eating fiber-loaded fruits also leave you with a feeling of fullness.

Some of the fruits which are high on fiber content are passion fruit, avocados, guavas, raspberries, blackberries, pomegranates, kiwifruit, pears, and oranges.
