fiber content
Nutritional plant matter
Fiber content refers to the amount of dietary fiber present in a food, typically expressed in grams per serving on nutrition labels.
This measurement helps consumers track their intake of indigestible plant material that aids digestion and promotes gut health.
Check the fiber content before buying cereal.
The term also applies in textiles, where it indicates the proportion of various fibers—cotton, polyester, wool—in a fabric, usually listed as percentages on clothing tags.
