Eating fruit and veg scraps could close the fibre gap, say scientists

UK researchers say peels, stalks, seeds and cores are overlooked fibre sources and urge root-to-tip eating, including watermelon rind and squash seeds. Only about 4% of adults hit the 30g daily fibre target linked to better gut and heart health. Keeping kiwi skin on can add roughly 50% more fibre than peeled fruit.
