High-fiber organic foods
Discover our selection of high-fiber organic foods, available online at Mon Épicerie Bio. This nutritional collection automatically gathers organic products from our catalog that explicitly carry the "high fiber" claim.
You can find various food categories here: muesli, cereals, oatmeal, cereal bran, sprouting seeds, Supermix, vegetables, and legumes. The selection evolves based on available products and their nutritional characteristics.
What does "high fiber" mean?
The "high fiber" claim is a regulated nutritional statement. It can be used when a food contains at least 6 grams of fiber per 100 grams or at least 3 grams of fiber per 100 kilocalories.
This indication must be distinguished from the "source of fiber" claim, which has a lower threshold. A food may therefore contain fiber without being able to be presented as "high fiber."
To correctly compare several items, check:
- the amount of fiber indicated per 100 grams;
- the amount of fiber contained in a serving;
- the format and the typically consumed portion;
- the complete list of ingredients;
- other nutritional characteristics;
- allergens and preparation instructions.
What is the difference between "source of fiber" and "high fiber"?
A food can bear the "source of fiber" claim when it contains at least 3 grams of fiber per 100 grams or at least 1.5 grams per 100 kilocalories.
To be presented as "high fiber," it must reach a threshold twice as high: 6 grams per 100 grams or 3 grams per 100 kilocalories.
These claims are therefore governed by precise conditions. They are not based on a general assessment by the manufacturer or the retailer.
High-fiber organic muesli
This collection may contain different high-fiber organic muesli: traditional muesli, crunchy recipes, mixtures with fruit, seeds, chocolate, or nuts.
The fiber can notably come from the whole grains, flakes, bran, seeds, or fruit present in the recipe. However, their exact quantity varies according to each product.
A high-fiber muesli is not automatically free of added sugars, gluten-free, high in protein, or vegan. These additional characteristics must be verified individually on the product page and packaging.
High-fiber organic cereals and flakes
The high-fiber organic cereals and flakescan be enjoyed with milk, a plant-based beverage, or yogurt. Oatmeal can also be used to prepare porridge, cookies, pancakes, or various homemade recipes.
Products containing whole grains or bran may have different fiber contents. The presence of whole grains in a recipe is not, by itself, enough to guarantee the use of the "high fiber" claim.
Only items reaching the regulatory thresholds and bearing this characteristic should appear in this collection.
Organic cereal bran
Bran corresponds to the outer husk of the grain. Depending on the cereal and the product, it can be added to yogurt, applesauce, porridge, bread dough, or pastry preparations.
Oat bran and wheat bran do not have the same composition or the same uses. Check the instructions on the packaging and introduce the product according to the quantities recommended by its manufacturer.
The fiber content should always be verified on the nutritional table of the item concerned.
High-fiber organic sprouting seeds
The selection may also bring together various high-fiber organic sprouting seeds: alfalfa, lentil, sunflower, fenugreek, mustard, cress, mung bean, radish, or mixtures of several varieties.
These seeds are intended to be sprouted at home. Soaking time, germination duration, and rinsing frequency depend on the variety. It is essential to follow the instructions written on the packaging.
Nutritional information may be given for seeds before germination. Check the conditions specified on the page before comparing their fiber content to that of a ready-to-eat product.
Supermix and mixtures to incorporate into recipes
Some high-fiber foods come in the form of mixtures of cereals, seeds, fruit, or nuts to incorporate into yogurt, a smoothie, or porridge.
According to the manufacturer's instructions, they can also be used in pancakes, cookies, bars, or other homemade preparations.
These mixtures may combine several characteristics, such as a high fiber and protein content. However, this should only be claimed for items explicitly bearing both statements.
High-fiber organic vegetables and legumes
This collection may also contain high-fiber organic vegetables and legumes. Depending on the available items, this may include chickpeas, lentils, beans, plain vegetables, or preparations combining several plant ingredients.
These products can be eaten as a side dish or integrated into salads, soups, bowls, and various dishes. Their fiber content and reference serving size should be consulted on their nutritional table.
This savory dimension distinguishes this collection from pages exclusively devoted to cereals or breakfast.
How to choose a high-fiber organic food?
Before ordering, compare in particular:
- the fiber content per 100 grams;
- the amount of fiber per serving;
- the list and order of ingredients;
- the presence of whole grains, bran, seeds, or legumes;
- the sugar and protein content;
- allergens;
- the preparation method;
- the format and price per kilogram.
The "high fiber" claim does not automatically mean that the product is gluten-free, without added sugars, vegan, high in protein, or low in salt. Use the other nutritional filters to refine your selection.
