Good sources include barley, oatmeal, beans, nuts, and fruits such as apples, berries, citrus fruits, and pears. Many foods contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. In general, the more natural and unprocessed the food, the higher it is in fiber. There is no fiber in meat, dairy, or sugar.

- Fruit and vegetables are good sources of soluble fibre
- Legumes such as lentils and peas, oats, barley, seed husks, flaxseed
- Soy milk and other soy-based items
