Top 35 High-Fiber Foods to Help Your Digestive Health

27) Sweet Potato

Have you wondered why sweet potatoes are more likely to get you satiated as compared to a bag of potato chips? It is because of the high fiber content you can get in the natural plant. Of course, the palatability of potato chips also plays an important part. But sweet potatoes are not only a source of dietary fiber. They also give you an impressive load of carotenoids, which make up the color in this tubercle.

You will get around 3.8 grams of fiber in only one medium sweet potato. You will always have to bake them, and we recommend eating them with the skin to preserve the most dietary fiber. A large sweet potato will probably give you twice that fiber content and maybe reach 6 grams of dietary fiber.
