Although cellulose can not be absorbed by the human body, it has a good role in clearing the intestines, and is a healthy food for IBS patients. The cellulose content of common foods is as follows:
Wheat bran: 31%
Grain: 4-10%, arranged from more to less as wheat grain, barley, corn, buckwheat flour, barley flour, sorghum and black rice.
Cereals: 8-9%; Oatmeal: 5-6%
The cellulose content of potato and sweet potato is about 3%.
Beans: 6-15%, ranging from more to less, are soybean, green bean, broad bean, kidney bean, pea, black bean, red adzuki bean and mung bean.
Generally speaking, the finer the processing, the less the cellulose content of cereals, potatoes and beans.
Vegetables: the content of bamboo shoots is the highest, the cellulose content of dried bamboo shoots reaches 30-40%, and that of pepper exceeds 40%. The others with more cellulose include: fern, cauliflower, spinach, pumpkin, cabbage, rape.
Fungi (dry): the cellulose content is the highest, among which the cellulose content of Tricholoma matsutake is close to 50%, and more than 30% are listed in the order of mushroom, tremella fuciformis and agaric. In addition, the cellulose content of laver is also high, reaching 20%.
Nuts: 3-14%. More than 10%: black sesame, pine nuts, almonds; Less than 10% are white sesame, walnut, hazelnut, walnut, sunflower seed, watermelon seed and peanut kernel.
Fruit: dried red fruit is the most abundant, with cellulose content close to 50%, followed by dried mulberry, cherry, sour jujube, black jujube, big jujube, small jujube, pomegranate, apple and pear.
All kinds of meat, eggs, dairy products, oils, seafood, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks do not contain cellulose; The cellulose content of various infant foods is extremely low.
Cellulose is not fiber, but two concepts. The content of cellulose is measured by cellulose analyzer. Generally, crude fiber is measured, and dietary fiber is also measured in food.
