14 high-fiber veggies that have major health benefits

Adding high-fiber vegetables to your meals is one of the easiest, tastiest and most nutritious ways to get more fiber in your diet. And that's something most of us should probably be paying more attention to.

Adults should get between 25 and 38 grams of fiber every day, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But many people fall pretty far short of that and end up closer to 10 to 15 grams a day. That may leave you feeling backed up and bloated. You might notice yourself feeling hungry soon after your meals, too.

Not only are there a lot of delicious, versatile high-fiber veggies to choose from, but they often come packed with other nutrients as well, such as vitamin C and folate. That's why eating with fiber and gut health in mind can also help you reach other health goals.

While all plants contain fiber, a few get MVP status for their higher fiber content.
