A member asked:
Do any fruits have beneficial fiber, or only vegetables and grains do?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Whole fruits: Whole fruits have lots of fiber, fruit juice by itself often has none. So if fiber is what you want, eat an apple, or pear, or peach, or any other & skip the juice bottle.

Fiber sources.: Fiber is found in fruits (blueberries, cranberries, apples), vegetables (broccoli, radicchio, endive, spinach), whole-grain breads (whole-GRAIN more than whole-WHEAT) and some breakfast cereals. Fiber supplements exist as well. It's always better to include all sources of fiber as part of a healthy, varied meal plan. 35 grams daily for women, 50 for men. And drink lots of water.
