Fiber contents of food

A balanced diet described in the food guide pyramid provides sufficient amounts of fiber as long as whole grain products are given priority. Rye bread is an indispensable source of fiber. In order to get the same amount of fiber as from 6-9 slices of whole grain rye bread, you would have to eat nearly 2 kg potatoes or tomatoes!
