Dietary fiber , sometimes called "roughage", is the indigestible portion of plant foods that pushes food through the digestive system , absorbing water and easing defecation . It was discovered in 1949.
Chemically, dietary fiber consists of non- starch polysaccharides such as cellulose and many other plant components such as dextrins , inulin , lignin , waxes , chitins , pectins , beta- glucans and oligosaccharides . The term "fiber" is somewhat of a misnomer , since many types of so-called dietary fiber are not fibers at all.
