Dietary fiber plays an integral role in regulating digestion and flushing toxins from your system. It is especially important if your are looking for ways to lose weight or maintain your current healthy weight. Finding ways to include more fiber into your diet is easy if you know which foods supply the most of this essential nutrient. Here are three sources of fiber that you might not know about:

1. Peas. The littlest of the green veggies packs a huge nutritional punch when you add just a cup to your salad or soups. You’ll get 8.8 grams of fiber—plus omega-3’s and protein.
2. Eggplant. This beautiful purple plant gives you 3 grams of fiber for every 13 calories, which makes it an excellent option if you’re watching your weight. Use it in lasagna to replace the carb-filled noodles.
3. Raspberries. Deliciously sweet raspberries give you 8 grams of fiber per cup. Swap them in for your usual desserts and you might notice a difference in how you look and feel.
