Fibre is a structural and supporting substance in plant-based foods. Each plant contains a mixture of both components, which is naturally different and typical for each plant.
Fibre belongs to the carbohydrate group. A distinction is made between soluble and insoluble fibre. Although fibre can only be partially digested by the body, it fulfils important metabolic tasks. For this reason, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends consuming 30 to 35 g of fibre every day.
