I heard that chicory root contains high dietary fiber. Will eating it better supplement dietary fiber?

    It has been pointed out that chicory root or maltodextrin can create the illusion of "high cellulose". Compared with the pure natural dietary fiber in cereals and vegetables, this kind of so-called "high fiber" food can not only bring about health, but also may cause gastrointestinal problems such as bloating and belching. To supplement dietary fiber, fruits and vegetables or whole grains should be selected. The content of dietary fiber such as fungus, mushrooms and kelp is also relatively rich.
