Food scraps could be the easiest fibre boost, UK experts say

UK researchers are encouraging 'root-to-tip' eating, saying parts usually thrown away, such as watermelon rind, pineapple cores and squash seeds, can significantly raise fibre intake. Only about 4% of adults meet the recommended 30g of fibre a day. Eating a kiwi with its skin, for example, provides around 50% more fibre than eating the fruit peeled.
