Question 1

Which one of the following food items does not provide dietary fibre?

(a) Whole grains

(b) Whole pulses

(c) Fruits and vegetables

(d) Milk

Answer 1

The answer is option (d).

Milk does not provide dietary fibre. It is an excellent source of vitamins, proteins and minerals particularly calcium. The other three, i.e. whole grains, whole pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables are the main source of roughage or dietary fibres. Roughage helps our body to get rid of undigested food.
