I am so surprised that raspberries are so high in fiber! I wonder if raw foods, such as carrots, have the same fiber content cooked.

I think cooking vegetables takes out some of the good stuff in them, but I don't know what the reduction value is, but isn't fiber non digestable. It seems to reason, although I don't know, that cooking them would increase the percentage of fiber.

Paul, my favorite is kidney beans, served with basmati rice and homemade sweet yogurt.  The juice of the kidney beans makes a wonderful soup base, too.

I found a webpage of video notes for the video "GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW MILLENIUM - FIBRE," produced by Video Education Australasia.  The article can be found at:

http://www.veavideo.com/teachersNotes/GUESS22.PDF

According to the video notes, "Cooking foods does not reduce their fiber content, but cooking does make some foods more palatable and digestible. Much of the fiber is in the skins of fruit and vegetables."

It seems reasonable to me that you can't destroy fiber in food, so long as one can still CONSUME essentially the same amount of food (minus water loss) after all the soaking, boiling, poaching, baking, blanching,  broiling, sauteeing, fricaseeing, stir frying, deep frying, skewering, and barbecuing!
