Which decision is more appropriate while choosing fruit in a low-fibre diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Choosing a fruit tolerated by the patient after removing its peel and seeds
A low-fibre diet commonly limits peels, seeds, pips, and coarse fibrous portions because they increase residue and stool bulk. A suitable fruit may therefore be offered after removing these parts and preparing it in a tolerated form, such as soft or strained fruit when prescribed. Total fruit avoidance is not automatically required, and frying does not remove dietary fibre; it mainly adds fat and may reduce overall diet quality.
