10. Figs: 1.9 g of soluble fiber per serving
Figs are one of the first crops in human history. They are very nutritious and contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, and other nutrients.
Both dried and fresh figs are excellent sources of soluble fiber, which slows food movement through the intestines and allows more time for nutrient absorption.
A quarter cup (37 grams) of dried figs contains 1.9 grams of soluble fiber.
Dried figs have been used as a remedy for constipation for years, according to anecdotal evidence. And according to a study, fig paste can improve bowel movements in constipated dogs.
