    because fiber tastes like ass.

    more fiberous versions of breads, flours, etc exist. but nobody likes how they taste.

    just swap all the white flour in your life for whole wheat or whole grain bread and all the sudden you will quadruple your fiber intake

      I like white rice, and make bread with 65% white flour. But foods with fiber are delicious.

      Beans, so good so many ways.

      Fruits - raspberries, dates, apples, peaches, pears, mango, pineapple.

      Greens- cooked collards or mustard greens are so tasty, salads can be so good tasting.

      Onions and garlic make a good start to many meals and have a specific sort of fiber that is very good for you.

      I like oatmeal.

      But again - the total fiber needed for health is in two cups of beans. Just throw them in anything. Put them on your white rice, in your white flour tortillas. Garbanzos into sausage soups. Cannelini into pasta dishes. Hummus and falafel with your lamb and white flour pitas.

      There are brands of high-fiber bread whose taste is barely distinguishable from low-fiber bread. My current favorite is “Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart” but there are others.
