Vegetables rich in fiber

Looking to up my fiber intake. Any ideas for vegs that are rich in fiber and low in calories?

Lima beans, artichokes, beets, greens (collard greens and spinach have a lot), peas, broccoli, brussels sprouts. Also, there are some fruits that are lower calorie and great sources of fiber -- blackberries and pears some to mind.

It's not a veggie, but I like dates for fiber and general yumminess. For veggies, leafy greens and that whole list above

Kimchi. Cabbage + fermentation = happy gut. Many stores are now carrying it, my favorite brand is King's, but the Melissa is ok too. I've even tried making it, quite a job.

This is a great suggestion. The brand I like (Farmhouse Culture) has 1 gram of fiber per serving (57 grams) That's only 15 calories and it is a tasty addition to all kinds of meals.

Fiber Rich Foods list can be found here that is pretty encompassing. I also focus on having a high fiber diet - grains, berries, leafy greens, squash, beans and lentils will all add extra bulk.
