It contains more fat, mineral matter and cellulose (cellulose is often called indigestible fibre, as it resists the solvent action of the digestive juices, and is of no value as a nutrient), and less proteid and digestible carbohydrates. ❋ Adelaide Hoodless (1884)

The facts which I have adduced clearly prove that the straws of the cereals possess a far higher nutritive power than is commonly ascribed to them; that when properly harvested they contain from 20 to 40 per cent. of undoubted nutriment; and lastly, that it is highly probable that their so-called indigestible woody fibre is to a great extent assimilable. ❋ Charles Alexander Cameron (1875)

It must be borne in mind, too, that I take no account of the 30 per cent. of the so-called indigestible woody fibre which straw contains, and which, I believe, is partly assimilable under ordinary circumstances, and could be rendered nearly altogether digestible by proper treatment; on the other hand, I have assumed that the woody fibre of the oil-cake is completely digestible, although ❋ Charles Alexander Cameron (1875)

"I think," Kaliinin went on, "that there's a charge pattern to the kind of indigestible residue left by the bacteria the white cell is designed to engulf and that that alone would be a trigger for ejection." ❋ Asimov, Isaac (1987)

Because resistant starches are indigestible, Kunes and Largeman-Roth explain (in their book and over the phone), they can keep you feeling full and satisfied, thus helping you reduce your overall food intake. ❋ Jennifer Larue Huget (2010)

As Boehner said, it boggles the mind that spending bills for major government departments are lumped together in an indigestible mass. ❋ Jason Linkins (2011)
