What nutrient group can't be digested?

5 min read
According to the Mayo Clinic, dietary fiber includes the parts of plant foods that the human body cannot digest or absorb. The nutrient group that can't be digested is fiber, a unique type of carbohydrate that passes through our digestive system relatively intact, unlike fats, proteins, and other carbohydrates that are broken down and absorbed. This indigestible nature is what makes fiber so vital for regulating our digestive processes and supporting overall health.
