Morphology

fiber-rich + diet

The phrase follows the regular adjective+noun pattern where 'fiber-rich' transparently means 'rich in fiber' and 'diet' means habitual food intake; a B1 learner who knows 'fiber', 'rich', and 'diet' can derive the meaning easily. The construction 'X-rich N' is a productive, compositional pattern in English and has clear parallels in many other languages, supporting full transparency.

Etymology

Fiber-rich diet comes from the simple image of plant fiber, the rough parts of fruits and vegetables, and the word rich meaning 'full of'. These fibers act like a broom in your digestive system and help food move through, so a fiber-rich diet means a diet 'full of' these fibers that 'keeps things moving' and helps digestion.
