The fiber content of foods typically consumed in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines was determined using the amylase modification of the neutral detergent fiber (NDF) method. Rice contained the least amount of fiber, 0.3 g/100 g fresh weight, cooked green mungbeans the most, 5.4 g/100 g. Corn was also low in fiber, 0.4 g/100 g. Eggplant, mango and sweet potato contained less NDF, 1-2 g/100 g, than did horseradish leaves, plantain, string beans and bamboo shoots which contained 2-3 g NDF/100 g, Daily fiber content of the recommended Daily Food Allowances for Filipinos was estimated to range from 6.4 g NDF for children 4-6 years old, to 14.5 g NDF for nursing mothers; crude fiber (CF) contents were significantly less than NDF. Intakes of either NDF or CF estimated from the 1978 Food Consumption Survey were slightly lower. Cereals and cereal products category was generally the largest single contributor of fiber to daily intakes, not because the representative food, rice, was such a concentrated source of fiber, but rather because so much was consumed
