17) Pear
After different types of squash and pomegranate, pear is probably one of the most abundant sources of fiber. It is undoubtedly a popular source. However, remember that the fiber content in pears is mainly located in the skin. So, if you’re interested in increasing your fiber intake, you want to leave the skin intact. Otherwise, you will eat much more sugar than fiber. Actually, the fiber in pears slow down sugar absorption and regulates glycemia.
You will get around 5.5 grams of fiber in a medium-sized pear, and it is very easy to eat two of them instead of only one. There are many pear recipes, including sweets, juices, smoothies, and even pear-based bread. But remember that you need to leave the peel intact if you want a high-fiber meal.
