Flax Seed Fiber Flax Seed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. High fiber content of foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains are necessary for the digestive system to work efficiently. What makes flaxseed stand out above other whole grains is its mix of fiber. Flax seed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber has been known to have positive cholesterol lowering effects. Health authorities recommend approximately 30 grams per day of fiber. It is estimated that most Americans consume less than 15 grams per day of fiber. We need a little boost on this endeavor, don’t we? Just 1/8 cup (heaping) of flaxseed contains 6 grams of fiber, the same you would get eating one and one-half cups of cooked oatmeal. Add that to your oatmeal and you’ll be well on your way to the necessary requirement for your daily fiber intake.
