Fruits rich in fiber such as coconut crudo, guayaba, maracuyá, los arándanos azules and tamarindo, for example, provide many benefits for health, can help fight stress, treat hemorrhoids, reduce cholesterol levels and blood triglycerides and even prevent colon cancer.

For this reason, to take advantage of the benefits of fiber, it is important to include between 2 and 3 servings of fruit in the daily diet, as well as being accompanied by a healthy and balanced diet, as well as regular physical activity.

In what part of the fruit is the fiber found?

The fiber content in the fruit is found in the pulp and in the shell, the latter being where the greatest quantity is found.



For this reason, the consumption of whole fruit is recommended and if it is possible with the shell, it should be avoided in the form of a yoke, because in this way it loses most of its fibers and concentrates the sugar, not recommended in the diets for weight loss or diabetic personas.

In addition to this, it is also important to stress that the amount of fiber in a fruit varies according to its state of ripeness, as the fruit matures, it will present a greater amount of sugars and a smaller amount of fibers.
