An AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist ranked common fruits and snacks based on their fiber content, highlighting the benefits of soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber, found in foods like apples, bananas, and oats, dissolves in water and aids digestion and cholesterol control. Insoluble fiber, present in nuts, beans, and vegetables, adds bulk to aid bowel movement. Snacks such as roasted chickpeas, trail mix, almonds, popcorn, and dark chocolate were noted for their fiber content.
