Dietary Fibre for a Healthier You: Eat Right with Nuts and Seeds

Jun 18, 2025Palm Tree Shopping

In today's hectic world, we frequently forget one important component that keeps our bodies in balance: dietary fibre. Fibre is a game-changer when it comes to improving digestion, weight management, and heart health. Palm Tree provides nature's richest sources of fibre in the form of premium-quality dried fruits, nuts, and seeds.

What is Dietary Fibre?


Dietary fibre is a plant-based carbohydrate that our body can’t digest. Instead of breaking down like other nutrients, it passes through the digestive system, doing a lot of good along the way. 
There are two main types: 

  • Soluble Fibre: Helps lower cholesterol and controls blood sugar.

  • Insoluble Fibre: Adds bulk to stool and supports regular bowel movements. 


Both are essential for a healthy diet, and you’ll find plenty of both in the nuts and seeds available at Palm Tree.
