Abstract
The article presents basic information on dietary fibre, including its current definition and characteristics
of individual components. The physiological and health-promoting effects of soluble and insoluble fractions
of fibre, are also presented. The characteristics of dietary fibre are discussed, taking as examples the selected
cereal species most popular in Poland and in Europe which make up a significant part of the diet and, as such,
are an important source of this component.
