A high fiber diet has been recognized for many years as an excellent way to lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and diverticulitis, while improving the absorption of nutrients into the intestinal system. Water and fiber work together to improve your digestive process, and the fiber content of dehydrated fruits and vegetables does not change from that of regular products. You should consume water with your dehydrated fruits and vegetables to get the full benefit of the fiber. Foods high in fiber include whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes (dried peas, beans, and lentils), fruits, and vegetables.
