(2019):
•
90% of the population consumes less than the recommended 30 g of
dietary fiber per day
•
Average intakes were significantly lower - around 20 grams
Since regular inclusion of foods based on whole grains in the daily diet
contributes significantly to the dietary intake of fiber
, the goal of the
national program is obvious - to increase the
offer
and
the consumption
of
