Dietary fiber (British spelling fibre) or roughage is the portion of plant-derived food that cannot be completely broken down by human digestive enzymes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_fiber

Kostfibrer,[1] numera benämnt fibrer, är kolhydrater (med undantag för lignin som är kostfiber men ej kolhydrat) som inte kan brytas ned av tarmens enzymer (det vill säga spjälkas).

Crude fiber refers to one type of dietary fiber, the type that remains as residue after food receives a standardized laboratory treatment with dilute acid and alkali. The treatment dissolves all the soluble fiber and some of the insoluble fiber in a food. The residue or crude fiber is primarily composed of cellulose and lignin. Crude fiber is a nutritionally obsolete term, according to the National Research Council's Commission on Life Sciences. Crude fiber measurements, the result of lab analysis, may underestimate the actual dietary fiber in a food item by 50 percent or more.
