Wheat with the properties of velcro..

Someone asked me yesterday what "fibre" is. i.e. the dietary fibre that we're always being exhorted to consume more of to prevent gremlins growing in our bowels, or some such. My answer was something about undigestible parts of food which served as a kind of manual broom through the guts (sorry, this is getting a little puerile). I kind of made this up.. it's probably vaguely true though.

The question then is: is anything undigestible high in fibre? Assuming the answer here is yes we could then place cement in the same category as bran which many would argue is long overdue.
