EXTRA FACETS ABOUT FIBRE

Abstract

What exactly is fibre? A chemical approach to this question is not only unsound but also incomprehensible. Fibre is best thought of, quite simply, as the cell walls of plants, which contain all the other nutrients. It is one thing to say this, but quite another to understand it. People who have not seen cells and cell walls with their own eyes cannot understand in the same way, though really good photographs will help.
