Getting Started

Clear the decks. Take everything out of your pantry, give it a hard look and decide what you can get rid of. Be ruthless. If you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it.

Keep what looks and smells good. “Expiration,” “sell by,” and “best by” dates are not good guidelines. Some are determined by regulators, others by manufacturers, and almost all are arbitrary. Properly stored, some (unopened) ingredients, like canned fish, can last for years; others, like dried herbs, start declining in quality the moment they are sealed in a container.

Assess what remains. Then organize it according to the logic that makes sense to you: There’s no single best system. Your nut butters might be with the condiments, or the breakfast items, or the baking supplies.

Fill in the blanks with food that will make you a better cook. Each of the pantry lists below is a proposal, not a prescription. There’s no reason to stock black beans if you only like red. There’s no need to have everything here available at all times. You’ll know your pantry is well stocked for your purposes when most of the time, you need only add one or two fresh ingredients to cook one of our recipes from scratch. Or even better, none.

The Essential Pantry

The foundation layer for all three pantries, this is where everyone should start. There’s so much to be done with these basics. The rule here is stock your pantry mostly with what you’re confident using, and what you love to eat. You’ll turn to it again and again.

Oils and vinegars: Extra-virgin olive oil, neutral cooking oil (such as canola or grapeseed), red-wine vinegar, white vinegar or white-wine vinegar.

Cans and jars: Tuna in olive oil, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock or vegetable stock (box-packed tastes better than canned). A good-tasting, simple tomato sauce can become a soup or a stew, or make a quick dinner with pasta or polenta.

Spices and dried herbs: Kosher salt, red-pepper flakes, ground cayenne, curry powder, bay leaves, black peppercorns, sweet paprika, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, garlic powder or granulated garlic, dried thyme and dried oregano. This selection will take you through everything from a basic beef stew to Saturday morning pancakes to Thanksgiving dinner.

Grains and starches: Long-grain white rice, one or two other grains (such as quinoa or farro), dry pasta (one long, one short and chunky), plain bread crumbs, crackers, canned beans (white beans, black beans and-or chickpeas), dry lentils.

Nuts and nut butters: Walnuts, almonds, roasted peanuts, peanut butter (smooth and crunchy).

Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, granulated sugar.

Preserves and pickles: Fruit jams and preserves, anchovies.

Condiments and sauces: Basic vinaigrette, mustard (yellow or Dijon), mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, salsa, soy sauce.

Produce: Garlic, onions, all-purpose potatoes (such as Yukon Gold), lemons, shelf-stable tofu (Essential for vegetarians, Expanded for others).

Dairy: Eggs, unsalted butter, cheeses (Cheddar, Jack or Colby, Parmesan), milk or cream for cooking (not skim).

Freezer: Chicken parts, sausages, thick fish fillets, shrimp, thick-sliced bread (for toast), spinach (and other vegetables such as corn and peas), berries (and other fruit such as peaches and mango). Some fruits and vegetables take particularly well to freezing — and in most growing seasons, the quality is better than fresh. Frozen fruit is useful for baking and smoothies.

Baking: All-purpose flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, pure vanilla extract, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, confectioners’ sugar, bittersweet baking chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, raisins or another dried fruit, cocoa powder. With these ingredients on hand, thousands of cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, quick breads and other sweets can be produced without a trip to the store.

The Expanded Pantry

For the cook who has a grasp of the basics, but wants to be able to stretch toward new options and flavors. Here, long-lasting, punchy ingredients like tahini, hoisin sauce, coconut milk, sherry vinegar and capers are stocked alongside classics: limes with lemons, jasmine rice as well as long-grain, almond butter in addition to peanut butter.

Oils and vinegars: Peanut oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sherry or balsamic vinegar, apple-cider vinegar.

Cans and jars: Sardines, unsweetened coconut milk, whole Italian plum tomatoes, beef stock (box-packed tastes better than canned). Whole plum tomatoes are rarely called for in recipes, but they tend to be the ripest and best-quality fruit. They can be diced or crushed to use in a recipe — or drained and slow-roasted for an intense topping on omelets, salads, grain bowls or pizza.

Spices: Flaky salt, single-chile powders (such as ancho and pasilla), ground coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, cardamom, za’atar, allspice, fennel seeds, dry mustard, garam masala (a basic Indian mix of warm spices), five-spice powder (a basic Chinese mix of spices), whole nutmegs.

Grains and starches: Rice noodles, basmati or jasmine rice, brown rice, panko bread crumbs, dry beans.

Nuts and nut butters: Almond butter, tahini, pecans.

Preserves and pickles: Olives (oil-cured and-or in brine), capers in brine. These ingredients, served with good bread and butter, make an elegant appetizer with wine, or everyday snack.

Condiments and sauces: Worcestershire sauce, hoisin, Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, anchovy paste, harissa.

Produce: Russet potatoes, carrots, celery, limes, ginger, avocados, parsley, cilantro, scallions, jalapeños. Keeping chiles, aromatics and herbs on hand gives you instant access to intensely fresh flavors, even for — maybe especially for — the simplest dishes you cook.

Dairy: Plain full-fat yogurt, more intense cheeses (pecorino, feta), salted butter.

Freezer: Pancetta, artichoke hearts, homemade stock, homemade bread crumbs, fresh pasta, vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cut and peeled winter squash, chopped onions), cooked grains. Prepared ingredients like chopped onions and cooked grains speed your route to dinner.

Baking: Cake flour, whole-wheat flour, dark baking chocolate, vanilla beans, almond extract, powdered gelatin, molasses, light corn syrup, buttermilk powder, active dry yeast.

The Expert Pantry

For the cook who likes taking global flavors, new methods and viral recipes for a spin. Here, the chiles get hotter, the chocolates darker and the cheeses funkier. These ingredients are just a fraction of what’s out there, but by stocking them, you will be able to cook almost any recipe you come across and experiment with creating your own.

Spices: Hot smoked paprika (pimentón), sumac, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, flaky dried chiles (such as Aleppo, Urfa or Maras), dried whole chiles (like ancho and arból), marjoram, dukkah, baharat, shichimi. Whether you stock spice mixes like baharat (a mix of warm spices used in the Middle East) or shichimi (a Japanese blend of ground chiles and sesame seeds) will depend on the global flavors that most appeal to you.

Grains and starches: Short-grain rice, dried pastas (bucatini, mezzi rigatoni or farfalle), spelt, pearl barley.

Nuts and nut butters: Pine nuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), pistachios. Toasted nuts like these (not as everyday as almond and peanuts) are good in salads and granola, on roasted fish, or just with olives for a classic pre-dinner snack.

Preserves and pickles: Pickled hot peppers, cornichons, kimchi, preserved lemons, roasted chiles, horseradish, caperberries, dried sausages such as saucisson sec and chorizo. The intense flavors of pickled and salted ingredients can be a great pick-me-up for mild dishes. In cooking, you can often substitute a bit of preserved lemon for regular lemon, or use the brine from cornichons as part of the liquid in a recipe.

Condiments and sauces: Gochujang, mango chutney, miso, wasabi, dark soy sauce, Chinese oyster sauce, Asian chili bean pastes.

Produce: Shallots, fresh mint, fresh rosemary, lemongrass, fresh Serrano and Thai bird chiles, fresh bay leaves.

Dairy: Ghee, crème fraîche, aged cheeses (Gruyère, blue cheese). Ghee (Indian-style clarified butter) and crème fraîche can reach much higher temperatures than butter, yogurt and sour cream without burning or breaking, so they are useful in cooking.

Freezer: Edamame, curry leaves, makrut lime leaves, merguez (spicy lamb sausages from North Africa). Fragrant leaves like makrut lime and curry (not the spice mix, but an Indian tree with scented leaves) are much more powerful in frozen form than dried.

Baking: Bread flour, pectin, almond flour, tapioca pearls, rose and orange flower waters, gelatin sheets, black cocoa, currants, fresh yeast, sparkling sugar, pearl sugar, candied citrus rinds

Best Practices

Once you have your ingredients, remember that cooking will always create change and disorder. Cans of tomatoes may never match, spices may never live in matching containers, and your hot sauce collection may always try to take over the condiment shelf. But here are a few final thoughts on how to keep your pantry well stocked and well organized enough to be truly useful.

ORGANIZING TIPS

Cooks with different styles need different systems. Some people store the jam with the dried fruits and maple syrup; others associate it with peanut butter, mustard and mayonnaise. The best logic is your own, and it may take some time to figure that out.

If you can’t see it, you’re probably not going to use it. A storage space with more shelving is the most efficient configuration for ingredients. Drawers or slide-out shelves also help tremendously with visibility.

Store everything you can in clear containers. Airtight plastic ones are best, and available in many shapes, sizes, and systems. Rectangular shapes make the best use of space.

Keep a roll of painter’s tape and some permanent markers in a kitchen drawer. It’ll help you make quick labels.

MAXIMIZING INGREDIENTS

Be realistic about your habits. It’s great to clean and trim a week’s worth of vegetables at once — but if you’re not going to do that, buy smaller quantities.

Buy ground spices in the smallest quantities you can find (except for spices you use regularly). Specialty companies will ship as little as an ounce, about 3 tablespoons. You’ll save space and produce better, brighter flavors in your food.

Buy fresh herbs. Dried herbs used to be a pantry essential, but most start out with very little flavor and lose it quickly in storage. (A couple of exceptions are dried oregano and dried thyme.) Pick up fresh herbs when you need them for a particular recipe; it’s a better investment of money and storage space.

Buy heavy, shelf-stable ingredients like boxed broth and canned tomatoes in bulk; better yet, order them online to save time and irritation. Almost any delivery service or website will offer a better price on these items than a brick-and-mortar store.

Cooked ingredients are much easier to use up than raw ones. Whether you steam, boil, pan-fry or roast, cook anything in your refrigerator that looks tired. You can always use it in a salad, a grain bowl or a pasta.

lore post!!

infodumping under the cut

So Concorde (brooding one on the right) and Albu (left) live in this place called Hesti. (Or more specifically, they live in an outpost in the middle of nowhere on the farthest border of Hesti.) This post is about Hesti's economy. And I'm not talking about stock prices or gross domestic product; I mean economy in its most basic anthropological form: how food is acquired and distributed to a culture.

Hesti, climatically, geographically, in some ways socially, is a lot like Italy. But Hesti's shared dragon and human population makes things interesting. And by interesting I of course mean difficult.

How do you feed two hungry populations with limited land? Creatively. And with lots of olive oil.

Humans are omnivores, but I'm going to assume that you know what humans eat already. Hesti dragons are also omnivores, but, like dogs and cats, prefer meat. The problem is that meat is way too expensive to eat it exclusively. Not even the richest of noble families can afford to have a full portion of meat for every meal. The reason is that raising livestock requires a lot of land and a lot of feed. The math just doesn't work out; there's too much demand and not enough resources. Hesti has come up with many solutions to this problem.

First of all, they limit meat. Except for the most important religious festival days, they never eat a whole portion of meat cooked by itself. The meat is stretched out as far as it can go, lasting for multiple meals, thinned out with grain and starches. Stew is a very common way to do this. Sometimes the meat is "diluted" so much that it's more like a savory flavoring than anything. In Hesti, they never waste the meat. They'll use the good parts, obviously, but also the tripe/organs; they carefully preserve the leftover fat and grease (which they'll later use how we might use lard or butter); use the bones (to get at the marrow and also to make bone broth); they'll cook as much as they can along with the meat to transfer the meat flavor over; they will make broth. Sometimes, they will instead cook the meat, cut it into very thin slices/strips, and coat it liberally in salt, which acts as a preservative. The result resembles jerky and can be useful for journeys.

(If acquiring meat is this difficult an endeavor for dragons, it's nigh-impossible for humans. Beef is a lost cause, though humans can reliably manage to get chicken. The main thing they do is not to purchase meat at a market, but to hunt small game. Often, this requires the local noble's permission if she owns the forest.)

Second, they supplement. Grain is the main way: just as grain is a staple crop for humans, so it is for dragons in Hesti. They use flour for a wide variety of purposes, including as a thickening agent and to make bread. Both dragons and humans eat a lot of bread. The dragons don't really like bread very much, but they eat a lot of it. They make bread more palatable by dipping it in soup/broth, putting lard on it, or by drowning it in olive oil.

Those living near the coast (which is most of the Hesti population) will also eat fish, which they consider inferior to land-based meat. Fishing is a pretty big industry. Things like shellfish, oysters, freshwater fish, etc. are generally ignored by dragons, though humans eat them.

Eggs are an important part of their diet. Poultry is great, of course, but they found that they could get a lot more out of a hen by keeping it alive (and collecting its eggs) than by immediately slaughtering it. Chicken coops are everywhere in Hesti, from large egg-harvesting businesses to the backyards of peasant families. If there's a way to prepare and serve an egg, it's been done in Hesti. Most recipes involve at least one egg. They are inescapable.

Fruits and vegetables are also a part of their diet, and goes as you would expect. They do also ferment their fruits: their favorite is fermented grapes. They love their wine, and they make plenty of it. Hesti's countryside is well-endowed with vineyards.

One thing Hesti dragons won't consume is dairy. Since they're not mammals, they're lactose intolerant. While the human population loves their milk, cheese, and cream, the dragons find it all off-putting.

Summary: A case of mistaken identity leads to an impromptu date, and Sokka finds himself helping Toph on her mission to bake some bread. They’ve got all the major ingredients—flour, eggs, and innuendo—but little else.

Fortunately, not even Toph’s catastrophic kitchen skills can put out the fire in her heart.

Warnings: None

Rating: Teen and up

Wordcount: 5,300

Tags: Flirting, Romance, Humor, Fluff, Friends to Lovers

Excerpt:

“Excuse me,” Sokka said to the man at the register. “Do you have–” After a quick glance at the list, he just held it out. “Any of this?”

“Hm… Yeah, some of it. Mostly on aisles two and three. If you’re having trouble finding anything specific, just ask the boy that’s stocking the shelves.”

“Thanks.”

He set off in the indicated direction, though his focus was on the list. In his peripherals, he noticed a petite woman trailing her fingers lightly over some boxes on the shelf in front of her. The cane in her other hand served as confirmation that she was blind.

Instantly, Sokka was put in mind of Toph. This woman also had long black hair, though hers hung in loose waves nearly to her waist. Was Toph’s hair that long? He wasn’t sure. And unlike her, the woman in front of him wore shoes and fitted clothes that accentuated her curves. 

A brilliant plan was taking shape in his head. I bet she’ll go out with me. I can use Toph as a conversation starter! He thought of little else but getting a date whenever an attractive woman crossed his path. Oddly enough, his corny lines usually worked. 

What ended up coming out of his mouth was, admittedly, not his best. “The way you’re caressing those bags in public should be a crime. Wouldn’t it just be easier to forget cooking dinner and let me take you out instead?”

There was a brief but torturous pause where her hand went still and he was sure he'd fucked up, then she turned slowly to reveal a familiar smirk and the faintest hint of a rosy blush. “So you’re into blind chicks, are you?”

Sokka’s mouth fell open and he froze. His mind simply refused to comprehend what was going on. She looks just like Toph! it told him, putting the pieces together but in the wrong order. And sounds like her too!

He heard his mouth say, “You look just like my blind friend!”

The amusement on her face melted into irritated disbelief. “It’s me, you meat-brained moron! Ten years, and you don’t even know when I’m standing right in front of you?! Who’s the blind one? I knew it was you the second you opened your mouth, and I would’ve known sooner if I wasn’t trying to figure out if this is flour or fucking corn starch!”

The end of her rant was punctuated with an exasperated sweeping gesture at the small bags on the shelf next to her. But Sokka had barely listened to a word she’d said. All he could do was stare in shock while his poor, confused brain struggled to catch up.

“Wow. Speechless,” she continued, now with her arms crossed and a smug expression plastered across her face. “If I’d known that all it would take was for me to let my hair down, I would’ve done it years ago.”

21 Easy Ways to Get More Fiber in Your Diet

Most people are aware that their diet should provide them with protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. But only a few people give a second thought to fiber. According to the American Society for Nutrition (ASN), only 7% of Americans eat enough fiber.

Fiber is the indigestible part of vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts, and seeds.

Not consuming enough fiber puts one at risk for several chronic illnesses. In contrast, high dietary fiber intake is linked to numerous positive health outcomes, including lower body weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Such a diet is also reported to offer protection against heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal as well as breast cancer.

Fiber also improves digestive health as it regulates bowel movements and prevents constipation.

So, for anyone who struggles to maintain a healthy weight, fiber is good news. Fiber can assist in weight regulation because fiber makes one feel fuller and eat less food, thereby, preventing weight gain.

Health authorities recommend that men and women consume 38g and 25g of fiber per day, respectively.

One way to ramp up your fiber intake is by adding fiber powder from plant-based sources. This will also help you keep count of how much fiber you’ve ingested. Below are several more simple ideas for you to increase fiber through your diet.

However, before we begin listing ways to increase fiber in your diet; we advise you to increase your fiber through organic green protein powder intake gradually. It’s because a sudden increase in fiber may cause some GI tract discomfort. After all, the body needs time to adapt to a new diet, and this is especially true with increases in fiber intake.

Now, let’s get you 21 easy ways to get more fiber in your diet:

1. Eat Whole Grains

Milled grains like white flour, white rice, and pearl barley have the fiber and germ removed leaving only the starch. In other words, processed grains are refined carbs that flood the bloodstream with sugar, triggering an insulin surge — a potential recipe for weight gain.

In contrast, whole grains are minimally processed and packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber-rich bran. Fiber makes you feel full faster. Also, this feeling of satiation lasts longer than when you eat bread, pasta, and pastries made from white flour.

Here is a list of grains you can try, provided they are not processed:

Oats

Barley

Spelt

Buckwheat

Rye

Bulgur Wheat

Millet

Quinoa

2. Eat More Lentils and Less Meat

Try replacing some of the meat in your diet with lentils and beans. They are high in fiber and packed with protein, minerals and vitamins. Studies show that lentils reduce the incidence of diseases like diabetes, obesity, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases.

Lentils are quick and easy to prepare. They’re also very filling and so, you don’t need a lot.

A 100g portion of cooked lentils contains between 9–17 grams of protein. So, an average serving of lentils will give you more than 15 grams of fiber.

3. Discover that Beans, Legumes, and Pulses are Comfort Food

There is nothing like a bean stew on brown rice to heat your frozen body in winter.

You can easily find cans and jars of beans in supermarkets. Alternatively, you can buy them dried which costs far less — making these ideal for families on a budget. They’re also very economical as when you soak dried beans, they double in size.

You can even soak dried beans overnight, making it easier to cook on weekends — especially if you don’t have a lot of time during the week.

Beans are very versatile and you can use them in stews, tacos, soups, and even patties. There are loads of great recipes online to try out.

Most legumes are high in plant protein, minerals, and fiber.

4. Don’t Forget Your Veggies

Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet. Apart from soluble fiber, vegetables and fruits also contain loads of bioactive compounds including phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals.

Scientists suggest that eating more plant-based foods helps to prevent chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Non-starchy vegetables like spinach, green beans, and broccoli are low in calories and high in fiber. So, eating them can help with weight maintenance.

5. Dig into Salads

While well-prepared, cooked vegetables are comforting; eating them raw in salads can be equally satisfying and filling. Salads are very versatile — with a little imagination and proper seasoning, just about any raw or cooked vegetable can be turned into a delicious, nutrient-rich salad.

Combine your salad with a cooked whole grain like bulgur wheat or unpolished rice and add in a few pieces of cheese and, you have got a complete and filling meal packed with goodness.

Eating salads can also help you lose weight as eating salad before the main meal can reduce overall calorie intake.

6. Eat Fruit Every Day

Unless you hate all fruit, this may be the easiest way to get more fiber in your diet. Fruit tastes delicious and is easy to carry anywhere. Fruit also makes a very satisfying snack — especially if you combine it with high-fat food like cheese or nuts.

All fruit has fiber. But certain fruits are more fiber-rich than others. For instance, berries are particularly high in fiber due to the seeds (like raspberries) and outside “skin” layer (such as blueberries.

However, keep in mind that most fruits are high in sugar. And so, if you have a blood sugar problem, ensure that you are eating high-fiber fruit and not too much at one time.

Also, choose raw versions of these fruits and not dried ones because dried fruits have more sugar concentrated in small pieces. For instance, one serving of apricot can be 15 g of sugar raw and 69 g dried.

But depending on the fruit; even raw fruits may have a lot more calories. So I present to you fiber-rich options with relatively limited calories to add to your diet:

Berries

Apricots

Kiwi fruit

Guavas

Grapefruit

Green pears

7. Go Nuts for Nuts

Nuts have a reputation for being high in fats and therefore, are often mistaken as fattening food. Surely, people are beginning to see nuts as healthy snacks but it’s all about portion size.

After all, nuts can be fattening if you are eating like 2 cups of cashews a day because they are very calorie and fat-dense. But one handful a day is a great addition to your diet.

Nuts don’t contain dietary cholesterol and they’re also a good source of:

Dietary fiber

Plant protein

Healthy fats (most nuts contain monounsaturated fats but walnuts are rich in polyunsaturated fats).

Phytochemicals

Vitamins especially vitamin E, B6, niacin, and folate.

Minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, copper, selenium, phosphorus, and potassium.

You can have a few nuts as snacks between meals or you can sprinkle them on salads.

8. Seeds are not Only for Birds

Seeds are tiny, but they have a colossal nutritional impact. All seeds provide protein, healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Seeds are nutrient-dense powerhouses that, like whole grains, nuts, legumes, cocoa products, and coffee, protect against cardiovascular disease.

Take chia seeds, for instance. They are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that the human body can’t make.

Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain about 11 grams of fiber.

You can increase your intake of seeds by sprinkling them on your cereal in the morning and on your salads. You can also make them an ingredient in anything that you bake, like biscuits, or pies.

9. Snack on Popcorn

This is an easy way to get more fiber in your diet. Popcorn is made from corn kernels, and corn is a whole grain. So, you will get about 4 grams of fiber from 3 cups of popcorn.

Popcorn is quick and easy to make on the stove, in the microwave, or using an air popper. You can finish this treat off with a sprinkling of cinnamon, cayenne pepper, or paprika. Just be careful when choosing store-brand popcorn, as they add a lot of butter and salt to it. It is best to buy the plain popcorn and add your own butter or salt at home because whatever you add will definitely be less than what they add!

10. Grab a Handful of Trail mix

Trail mix is a snack that hikers and athletes typically depend on to sustain them during long hikes or long-distance running. It typically consists of a combination of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, raisins, cranberries, coconut chips, and granola.

Trail mix makes a highly nutritious snack and provides ample fiber. You can prepare such a mix according to your taste and grab some whenever you feel like having a sweet treat.

11. Tuck into Tacos

Tacos are a super healthy meal. If you choose wholegrain tortillas and combine them with fresh vegetables and beans, you have a great source of dietary fiber.

Beans and cheese provide a good amount of protein, and beans are also high in fiber.

In addition, the vegetables that typically go with tacos, like avocados, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions add a range of vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are crucial for a healthy immune system and supporting overall well-being.

Besides, tacos are quick and easy to put together and you can experiment with different flavors.

12. Breakfast on Fruit Yogurt Nuts, Seeds, and Oats

By incorporating fruit, yogurt, nuts, seeds, and oats into your breakfast routine, it is a delicious way to add fiber to your diet. All of these ingredients are fiber-rich. Nuts provide a fair amount of fiber. Oats are a good source of quality protein, carbs, and soluble fiber.

The fiber in oats dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like solution in the intestine. The soluble fiber in oats has a component called,beta-glucan which helps reduce cholesterol in the blood and can regulate type 2 diabetes.

Scientists have also found that beta-glucan fiber plays an important role in gut health.

Fruit, especially berries are known for their high fiber content. You can choose berries according to your taste e.g. blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, loganberries, cranberries, raspberries, and many more. They also add a splash of color and flavor to any dish.

As mentioned earlier, nuts and seeds are good sources of dietary fiber. All in all, this is a breakfast that will set you well on your way to a fiber-rich day.

13. Enjoy a Hearty Bowl of Soup

You may not think of soup as a good source of fiber, but some soups are. Think about it, all vegetables and beans are high in fiber.

You can make a vegetable soup from your choice of vegetable combinations, or choose to make a specific vegetable soup like tomato, mushroom, onion, or pumpkin.

Beans make hearty soups and add protein, fiber, and minerals to the meal. Use canned beans if you don’t have time to soak dried ones.

You can flavor your soups with loads of dried or fresh herbs and spices. You can further increase your fiber intake by enjoying this soup with a loaf of wholegrain bread.

Don’t forget America’s favorite — corn chowder which is easy to make and is high in dietary fiber.

14. Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce

Here is a summer favorite that’s migrated from Asia to the rest of the world. This healthy, flavorful meal is super easy and quick to throw together.

Noodles take virtually no time to get cooked. While that is happening, chop some fresh vegetables in small pieces — you can choose from red cabbage (buy already shredded), spring onion, bell peppers, grated carrot, cilantro, fresh basil, and jalapenos. Make the peanut sauce, and toss everything together.

You will get your fiber from the vegetables.

Though peanuts add protein; you can also add meat, shrimp, tofu, or chicken for more protein.

15. Add Chickpeas to Your Meat Stews

Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans and are packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, and vital minerals like iron, copper, and manganese. One cup of chickpeas delivers 12.5 grams of fiber.

Adding chickpeas to your favorite beef stew helps to stretch your stew further without missing out on protein. For families on a budget, adding beans to meat dishes is an economical way to get enough protein at a more affordable price.

And it certainly helps that chickpeas don’t have such a strong flavor that it spoils the desired meaty taste of any dish.

Many pulses, including chickpeas, contain soluble and insoluble types of carbohydrates, which act as prebiotics for beneficial microorganisms in the gut.

Scientists have linked eating pulses like chickpeas to a reduction in cholesterol, increased satiety, and lower blood glucose levels, which lower the risk of metabolic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes.

16. Discover Hummus — the Healthy Condiment

While we are on the topic of chickpeas, let’s take a closer look at hummus. Hummus is made by combining chickpeas, garlic, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, and lemon juice. You can also add a ton of other ingredients including jalapenos, cilantro, roasted red peppers, and so much more! This bean dip originates from the Middle East and has found enthusiastic acceptance around the globe — even before globalization shrunk the world.

As you can see from the ingredients, hummus is high in fiber. In addition to fiber, you will be adding a good dollop of protein and healthy fats from the sesame paste and the olive oil.

Hummus is eaten as a dip, but you can add it as a side to any meal.

As an afternoon snack, hummus is a healthy alternative to treats like granola bars and potato chips. Compared to eating granola bars, snacking on hummus and pretzels keeps people fuller for longer and leads to a greater reduction in blood sugar levels.

17. Have a Healthy Sandwich for Lunch

Don’t think for a moment that you can’t enjoy a sandwich when you are trying to increase your fiber intake. All sandwiches aren’t created equal. There is the white bread grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and then there’s a healthier choice.

You can make or buy, a brown bread or whole-wheat sandwich filled with fresh vegetables, cheese, and a healthy dressing. Vegetables that work well are tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, cucumber, grilled eggplant, raw or grilled onions, and avocados.

Top with fresh herbs, olive oil, and lemon dressing, and you have yourself a healthy, fiber-dense meal.

18. Don’t Forget Dessert — Enjoy Your Apple Pie

I bet you never imagined that apple pie could be anything other than a sweet treat that’s bad for your health. It’s not, when made intentionally!

Apples are high in fiber and packed with vitamins, phytochemicals, and minerals. Use whole-wheat flour or oats for the crust to add more fiber. You can also consider not peeling the apples as that would add more fiber to your pie.

You can also substitute some of the sugar with finely chopped dates which are rich in fiber and natural sugars. Adding some chopped walnuts as a topping will also increase the pie’s fiber content.

19. Snack on Dates

Dates are a super easy way to add fiber to your diet. They are sticky and sweet and make a wholesome snack on their own. But they are also satisfying when combined with nuts or cheese.

Just two dates provide at least 5.9 grams of fiber. The fiber in dates has been shown to contribute to regular bowel movements, and so, dates prevent constipation.

Apart from fiber, dates also offer a long list of nutrients, including calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, copper, and vitamin B6. Additionally, dates have no dietary fat or cholesterol.

However, dates contain high levels of natural fruit sugar (fructose). So, it’s a good idea to not have too many dates. Four dates, or one-quarter cup, is a typical serving size, and that alone is almost 12 grams of fiber!

20. Turn Fresh Fruit into a Healthy Dessert

Fruit tends to be rich in fiber. Instead of a baked dessert or ice cream and chocolate sauce, make yourself a fresh fruit salad. You will be getting plenty of fiber, natural sugars, and vitamins.

Combine your fresh fruit salad with chopped nuts and seeds for added fiber and protein. This will also make you feel full for longer periods.

21. Who Doesn’t Love Chili?

There are many ways to make chili. For a high-fiber version, add loads of vegetables and beans to your normal chili recipe. Use canned beans to speed up the process and use different beans to add texture and taste.

Serve with cornbread made from whole cornmeal for extra fiber. It’s a good idea to make your cornbread as it’s pretty easy and won’t have all the unhealthy ingredients of the bought variety.

I hope this article helped you add the appropriate fiber amount to your diet.

Arrowroot starch, a fine, white powder derived from the roots of the arrowroot plant, is a versatile and popular ingredient in both culinary and industrial applications. Known for its neutral flavor and smooth texture, arrowroot starch is often used as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and desserts, providing a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. Additionally, its hypoallergenic properties make it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions. In the industrial sector, arrowroot starch finds applications in the production of biodegradable products and cosmetics. Its ability to absorb moisture and provide a silky finish makes it a valuable component in personal care products. As consumer demand for natural and eco-friendly ingredients grows, the market for arrowroot starch is expected to expand.

Arrowroot starch is widely used in food preparation due to its unique properties and versatility. Here are some common uses:

Thickening Agent: Arrowroot starch is a popular thickener for soups, sauces, and gravies, offering a clear, glossy finish without altering the flavor. It's particularly valued for its ability to thicken at lower temperatures compared to cornstarch, making it ideal for delicate dishes.
