Everything but: lamb, olive oil and salmon. What’s the prize?

I think it’s all except – milk, lamb, olive oil, butter, salmon.

My guess is that all contain fibre except milk, tofu, olive oil and butter.

All the plant foods except olive oil. I’m not sure about the tofu, though – is it processed enough to contain no fibre? I think it has some, though.

And here are the answers:

  1. bread: yes – but how much depends on the bread. A good chunky wholegrain can be about 7 percent fibre, while bog-standard white bread is about 3 percent.
  2. milk: no fibre
  3. pumpkin: yes
  4. lamb: no fibre
  5. tofu: yes it does contain fibre – depending on the type it’s about 5 percent.
  6. broccoli: yes
  7. apples: yes
  8. olive oil: no fibre
  9. butter: no fibre
  10. salmon: no fibre
  11. bananas: yes
  12. rice: yes
  13. hazelnuts: yes
  14. chickpeas: yes
  15. sultanas: yes

So all of them contain fibre except milk, lamb, olive oil, butter and salmon.
