Answer: Fibre is mainly a carbohydrate. The main role of fibre is to keep the digestive system healthy. Other terms for dietary fibre include 'bulk' and 'roughage', which can be misleading since some forms of fibre are water-soluble and aren't bulky or rough at all.
Example: Fibre rich foods include:
Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots and sweetcorn. Peas, beans and pulses. Nuts and seeds. Potatoes with skin.
