Savor These Fiber-Filled Fruits

Try eating different fruits every day to get different types of dietary fiber. Fruits with edible seeds, such as strawberries, are sources of lignin, while apples and citrus fruits are excellent sources of pectin. One medium apple contains 4.4 grams of fiber, and one cup of strawberries contains 3 grams. These other fiber-filled fruits will also help boost your metabolism: bananas, blueberries, cantaloupes, cranberries, grapefruits, honeydew, melons, lemons, limes, mangos, oranges, papayas, peaches, pineapples, raspberries, tomatoes, tangerines, and watermelons.
