Legumes are important sources of dietary fiber. Chick peas, kidney beans, and lentils samples were analyzed by AOAC methods (985.29 and 991.42) and the total dietary fiber content was 17.6, 26.3, and 19.2%, respectively. The main portion, between 68 and 90%, was the insoluble dietary fiber fraction.
