Dietary Fibre

-

Dietary fibre can generally be described as that portion of food that is not digested in the human small intestine. It passes into the large intestine, where it is partially or fully fermented.

A high-fibre diet offers many health benefits, which include: a) normalisin­g bowel movements, b) maintainin­g bowel health, c) lowering of cholestero­l levels, d) helping control blood sugar levels, and e) aiding in achieving healthy weight. So, bread with high dietary fibre is good for consumers.
