The typical Serbian diet is characterised by high intake of cereal products and also legumes are often used. The content of total fibre as well as certain fibre fractions was determined in cereals, cereal products, and cooked legumes. The content of total fibre in cooked cereals and cereal products ranged from 2.5 to 20.8g/100g, and in cooked legumes from 14.0 to 24.5g/100g (on dry matter basis). Distribution of analysed fibre fractions and their quantities differed significantly depending on food groups. Fructans and arabinoxylans were the most significant fibre fractions in rye flakes, and β-glucan in oat flakes, cellulose and resistant starch were present in significant amounts in peas and kidney beans. When the size of regular food portions was taken into consideration, the best sources of total dietary fibre were peas and kidney beans (more than 11g/serving). The same foods were the best sources of cellulose (4.98 and 3.56g/serving) and resistant starch (3.90 and 2.83g/serving). High intake of arabinoxylans and fructans could be accomplished with cooked wheat (3.20g and 1.60g/serving, respectively). Oat (1.39g/serving) and barley flakes (1.30g/serving) can be recommended as the best sources of β-glucan.
