Dietary fibre is a complex of non-digestible carbohydrates present in the cellular structures of the plant-derived foods we eat. 

Fibre includes the skins and pulp of fruit and vegetables plus seeds, nuts, beans and grains. 

It comes to us as five different components in two basic forms:

          > One form is insoluble fibre, its component types are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. 

          > The second form is soluble fibre, its component types are gum and pectins.

Each of these five different types of fibre contributes benefits to the overall proper functioning of our digestive tract.

The majority of food we consume is in a form that cannot be utilized by the body until it has gone through the process of digestion. 

Digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine and is brought about by the action of digestive enzymes. 

These enzymes are very specific in their action. 

Proteins are broken down into amino acids by protein digesting enzymes, fats and lipids into free fatty acids by fat digesting enzymes and carbohydrates into simple sugars by carbohydrate digesting enzymes. 

However, some foods such as fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and legumes contain a carbohydrate portion which is not able to be digested by the enzymes we produce. 

This portion passes through our system in a non-digested form and is commonly referred to as dietary fibre.
