Question:

Which vegetables have a lot of fiber and how to cook them?

Please, no general answersSpecifically, tell me the names of some vegetables containing a high percentage of fiber and also, tell me exactly how to cook them easily as I'm a student and I can't afford a lot of time or money.

Answer:

That is not an illegal bribeYou need to grow up.
No, your dad can't be arrested for any of thisIf he actually does get a stick and beat you with it you can report that to the police.
Anything leafy is highest in fiber: spinach, lettuce, collards, kale, mustard/turnip greens, cabbage, amaranth, and so forthQuickest/least wasteful way to cook any of these (minus lettuce, which should be eaten fresh) is to steam the rinsed leaves (lightly torn) using a saucepan with lid and steamer basketBasically place the steamer basket in the pan, add water so that it fills only 1 inch, add leaves, place lid, then turn on to med-high heatIt should be done in 8min, maybe lessYou can also buy these frozen, in which case you should let the leaves defrost, then steam as indicated, but cut the cook time in halfHowever quick this is, it's pretty flavorless, so you will want to add salt, lemon, pepper, flavored vinegars/oils, herbs, etc to enhance itAVOID SALAD DRESSINGS unless you like adding MSG and needless sugar to your dietYou can reserve the water from steaming to cook with later, like boiling potatoes or use as a soup base/stockNo point in wasting flavor or nutrients.
