10 Fruits High in Fiber

Pear

Pears are one of the most popular fruits that pack a substantial amount of soluble and insoluble fiber. A medium-sized pear (178 grams) could provide 6 grams of fiber, which is equivalent to 15%-24 % of your daily fiber needs depending on your gender. The insoluble fiber in pears, acting as a natural stool softener, could keep your digestive tract healthy and maintain bowel regularity by pulling water into the colon and pushing out the waste from your body. For that reason, getting adequate insoluble fiber could prevent you from embarrassing constipation problems. [2]
