February is Great American Pies Month. It’s also National Fiber Focus Month. While these would seem contradictory, let’s see if we can make sense of it.

First, what are Great American Pies? For this we turn to the great American pie maker herself, Mrs. Smith, or at least to her corporate facsimile. 

The top pies, in order, are:

Apple

Pumpkin

Chocolate cream

Cherry

Apple crumb

Pecan

Lemon meringue

Cherry

Key lime

Peach

The top two have major ingredients which are high in fiber. There you go. That’s how you celebrate Great American Pies Month and Fiber Focus Month, all at the same time.
