"According to the USDA, less than 10% of Americans meet the daily recommended intake for dietary fiber consumption. This nutrient is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system, and helps to keep us feeling fuller for longer, and most adults should be consuming at least 25 grams per day. America's fiber gap can be partly attributed to the nation's reliance on processed foods, such as pastries, cakes, and pasta, which are typically made with refined white flour."
"If Aldi is your supermarket of choice, you're in luck, because this budget-friendly chain offers a wide range of fiber-rich staples. Opting for fresh produce is always a good idea, but there are countless items in the pantry, snack, and freezer aisles to consider, too, so you can meet your fiber needs without sacrificing convenience. We evaluated the products on this list by conducting careful research of Aldi's product lineup, and referred to various online sources to assess which products were most popular amongst shoppers."
Less than 10% of Americans meet the daily recommended dietary fiber intake, though most adults should consume at least 25 grams per day. Dietary fiber supports a healthy digestive system and prolongs feelings of fullness. The national fiber shortfall partly results from heavy reliance on processed foods made with refined white flour, while busy lifestyles increase dependence on convenient, low-fiber options. Diets emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains best support fiber goals. Aldi offers budget-friendly, fiber-rich staples across produce, pantry, snack, and freezer aisles. Product selection was based on research of Aldi's lineup and online popularity. Southern Grove pitted prunes deliver about 3 grams per serving and contain both soluble and insoluble fiber.
