"Fiber is a plant-derived carbohydrate that can't be digested. This sounds bad, but is actually extremely beneficial to gut health. If your diet is light on fiber and heavy on protein... your digestion can, well, slow down."
"Fiber, paired with protein, keeps things moving and also helps with protein absorption. Plenty of everyday ingredients have a high fiber content. Think: whole grains, seeds, vegetables, fruit (especially skin-on), beans."
"Enter this new Good for You recipe, a high-fiber-and yes, protein-rich-salad that doesn't feel like a chore. It calls on fiber heavy-hitters barley and lentils, with fennel and sunflower seeds in supporting roles."
"Barley is typically sold in 'hulled' and 'pearled' iterations. The former is my strong preference. With only its husk removed, hulled barley offers almost double the fiber of its bran- and germless counterpart."
Healthy cooking can be uncomplicated and flavorful, emphasizing recipes with 10 ingredients or fewer. Fiber, a plant-derived carbohydrate, is essential for gut health and often lacking in American diets. It aids digestion and protein absorption. High-fiber ingredients include whole grains, seeds, vegetables, fruits, and beans. A recommended recipe features a high-fiber salad with barley and lentils, complemented by fennel and sunflower seeds, all enhanced by a harissa-spiked dressing. Hulled barley is preferred for its higher fiber content compared to pearled barley, despite longer cooking time.
