Fiber Density 1 article

Fiber density considers dietary fiber relative to calories, food weight or serving size rather than looking only at total grams in a package. Beans, lentils, whole grains, berries, vegetables, nuts and seeds can provide meaningful fiber, while refined foods often contain less after bran or other plant material is removed. The metric is useful when comparing foods with very different energy content or portion sizes. As with protein density, the denominator matters, and a high fiber ratio does not describe every other aspect of the food.
