Best High Fibre Foods List

This chart or "Best High Fibre Foods List" was found when I read the book the Full Plate Diet.

These foods are not in order and in the book the Authors go to great lengths to describe the benefits of the top 5 foods in each category.  I like the books approach, because they pick the foods based on all their nutritional benefits.  
I developed my own high fibre foods list differently, I took information from the USDA's nutritional database, and divided fibre by calories so that I could find out which foods had a lot of fibre, but not a lot of calories.  The first link is a normal web page with a lot of data on it.  The second link is the same information in pdf format.  PDF is great for printing, saving to your computer and saving to your kindle or other reading device.
