What kind of food is this?
A vegetable that turns sticky when chopped. Fiber is 5g per 100g and magnesium 51mg — both on the high side for a vegetable.
Pectin, the source of the stickiness, is a type of soluble fiber. It holds water and feeds gut bacteria, so it has a bearing on stool condition and the gut environment.
