I hate it when food gets reduced to a single number. What is this list good for if you want to eat a balanced diet?
True its just one metric of many but there are cases where it is important, such as certain diseases like diverticulitis where fiber matters a lot.
This doesn't seem right: celery has 20g of fiber per 200 calories? Google estimates a 40g stalk of celery as having 6 calories, so we are talking about 1.333kg to get 20g of fiber. That means it is only 1.5% fiber by weight. Anyone think that is off?
Celery is 95% water, so that 1.5% is 30% of the rest.
They should have really done it by fiber per weight. It would hard for anyone to eat >1kg of celery. Practically speaking, I hink the berries are the best in this regard.
According their list, Beet Green is a very versatile fiber holding vegetable... lol.
Coming in 3rd place with 34 grams and in 13th place with 21 grams.
