10 Fruits High in Fiber

Strawberries

Providing 3.3 grams of fiber in just one cup, strawberries are one of the tasty and nutritious fruits that are often added to various recipes for salad, smoothie, dessert, and ice cream. According to recent research, strawberries could be part of a balanced meal plan for people with diabetes by helping reduce pre-meal blood glucose, post-meal blood glucose levels, as well as triglyceride levels. The soluble fiber in strawberries could form a gel substance when it mixes with water in the intestinal tract, making it harder for the body to convert carbohydrates into glucose, therefore, slow down the absorption of glucose in the blood.
