Peels, stalks and seeds could fix your fibre gap, study finds

King's College London researchers say fruit and vegetable scraps are an overlooked fibre source. Analysing 12 foods, they found watermelon rind holds 2.1g of fibre per 100g, butternut squash skin and seeds 9.25g, and pineapple skin and core five times more than the flesh. Only 4% of UK adults meet the recommended 30g of fibre a day.
