ZOE Science & Nutrition · How to reduce your heart disease, dementia and cancer risk with 12 everyday high-fibre foods | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Prof Sarah Berry · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

Not just fiber, but serious nutrients.

And of course, that's what makes life in the kitchen interesting.

You know, different flavors, different tastes, different textures, different ingredients every day.

That doesn't mean an endless shopping list.

And of course, if you work through the seasons, different things become available to swap in for other things.

And then you get a chance to just explore in a way that fits in with what's best and freshest.

So you can get a fantastically diverse high fiber diet based very largely on homegrown British seasonal produce.

I don't spend masses of time online looking at the latest food trends, but I think it's also useful to be aware of what's going on.

And I did look at some Fibre Maxing stuff earlier in the year, and I was sort of mostly really quite happy with it.

And a lot of it's quite good fun.

And also, Fibre Maxing as a trend tends to be offering up

Pretty whole natural foods, quite a big diversity of them, because one thing people want to be online is a little bit original, and they want to do something a bit different.

So that's all good.

The one thing about it that I think maybe is just a tiny bit misleading is there's a huge amount of emphasis on seeds and nuts and grains that are very high in fiber, which is not wrong, but the way in which Fibromaxers tend to count their fiber is

Obviously, dry ingredients are going to have higher per gram or per 100 gram scores than fresh vegetables, simply because fresh vegetables are between 70% and 85% water.

So no wonder 100 grams of chia seeds is going to have more fiber than 100 grams of tomato.

The irony is that whenever you're eating dry, fibery things, you've got to add a load of water.

You can't have the chia seeds without pouring on the water.

And yet they get this fantastic high fiber per 100 gram score compared to, I don't know, cabbages or cucumbers or leeks or apples.

And that's a little bit misleading because it sort of tends to put a higher value on them.
