Hi - I'm sorry, I don't have any info sources that aren't already on the website.
All I can tell you is that I've found it best to go by the "smushy" rule. If a fruit or veggie or grain smushes easily (like a banana, cooked sweet potatoes, or rice) that's a great indicator that it's soluble fiber. Quinoa is a good example. If it doesn't smush, or there are hulls, strings, seeds, roughage, etc. that indicates insoluble fiber.
I find this to be a faster, easier, and more reliable way to see if what I'm eating is soluble or insoluble.
If you have more posts on this, please keep to the same threads instead of starting new ones.
Best,
Heather
