Fiber resource list?

Hi there:
I'm trying to increase my fiber intake and was wondering if anyone knows of a good source to get fiber data on a variety of foods?
Thanks!

Fiber resource list?

I put the link below, but if it doesn't work then do a Google search on "Fiber content of foods in common portions" and the first link should be to a really good handout put out by Harvard.

Thanks

OP here- Thanks for the link to the list. I think it will be very helpful for foods w/o nutrition facts. One thing I wondered though- how do they determine the numbers? I only ask this because I scrolled down the the cereal section and saw that Fiber 1 (1/2 c) serving is listed with 11.9 g total fiber whereas the people at General Mills say it has 14 g per serving. I'm not trying to be exact, just wondering which I should believe.

If you look at the bottom of the handout, it lists the source from 1990 so the fruits and veggies are all probably still pretty accurate but some of the cereals may have changed since then. That's just my guess.
