There is soluble fiber – or nature’s broom and insoluble fiber – or nature’s sponge.
Soluble fibre derives its name from the water absorbing nature. These fibres absorb water forming a gel and act like a sponge in the gut.
Soluble fibre is found in fruit and vegetable pulp, oats, barley, legumes, pulses, dals, sprouts, dried fruits, falooda seeds, onion, methi seeds, linseed (sonbiya), chia seeds and isabgol.
Insoluble fiber is found in foods like berries, nuts, carrots, and whole grains.
Insoluble fibres are structural portions of plants and include cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. These fibres are insoluble in water and act like a broom helping to cleanse the gut. Insoluble fibre is found in peels of fruits and vegetables; whole grain cereals, millets and nuts.
