High-fibre recipes

High-fibre here means at least 8 g of fibre per serving and 3 g per 100 kcal – which meets the UK and EU condition for ‘high fibre’. The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends at least 30 g of fibre a day for adults, so one serving from here brings a good quarter of that. Increase the amount gradually and drink enough with it.

Adults are advised to eat 30 g of fibre a day, and most people in the UK eat less. Our high-fibre recipes provide at least 8 g per serving and at least 3 g per 100 kcal – which meets the UK and EU condition for ‘high fibre’. The fibre comes from wholegrains, pulses, linseed, chia seeds, porridge oats and berries.

How we classify recipes

We use the nutrition per serving shown on every recipe. A recipe joins this collection if one serving has at least 8 g of fibre and at least 3 g per 100 kcal. The 3 g per 100 kcal is the UK and EU condition for ‘high fibre’; the 8 g per serving is our own extra threshold.

Frequently asked questions

Soluble or insoluble fibre – which is better?

You need both. Soluble fibre is found mainly in oats, linseed, apples and pulses, insoluble fibre in wholegrains, veg and nuts. Varied recipes give you both.

How do I increase the amount?

Gradually – about 5 g more a week – and drink enough. If you're sensitive, start with oats, potatoes and cooked veg rather than large portions of pulses.

When is a recipe high-fibre?

Under UK and EU rules, from 3 g of fibre per 100 kcal (or 6 g per 100 g). We also require at least 8 g per serving. Recipes with less simply show the amount, for example ‘6 g fibre’.
