🌾 Are You Getting Enough Fibre? 🌾
Did you know a lot of us might be overestimating how much fibre we’re actually getting from everyday foods? A recent study uncovers that Brits are often mistaken about which foods are high in this essential nutrient. While brown rice, carrots, and cabbage do contain some fibre, their amounts are pretty modest compared to truly fibre-rich foods like beans and wholemeal bread.
Shockingly, 29% of adults never even think about their fibre intake, and nearly a quarter feel misled by common beliefs. Despite the misunderstandings, 46% of people are keen to boost their fibre intake – what about you?
Wholemeal bread reigns as the UK’s favourite loaf, offering 7g of fibre per 100g, but it’s not just any old bread! Sourdough, multigrain, and even naan make the list of beloved choices. 🌟
Louise Dickinson from FAB Flour says, “Many assume their diet’s fibre-rich, but there’s always room for more.” So, maybe it’s time to rethink your next grocery run. Why not opt for some chia seeds, lentils, or whole wheat pasta next time around?
It looks like bread’s making a comeback, not just as a delicious staple but a genuine source of fibre, protein, and other vital nutrients. So, here’s to adding more power-packed fibre to our plates! 🍞🥦
