'On a density basis, grains do provide much more of an amount of fiber
compared to fruits and vegetables," says Samuel. "That is one of the
reasons why we really do believe that they need to be emphasized more
than they are right now to [help people] meet the fiber guidelines and
in order to have an effect on high blood pressure.'"

Whole wheat bread supplies 5 g of fiber for a 100 calories serving.

Broccoli supplies 20 g of fiber for a 100 calorie serving.

Some fruits and vegetables supply more fiber per 100 calories than most
of the grain products, except for bran cereal.
