they do have fiber. If you can’t store fresh vegges, at least get frozen which are just as healthy……. canned is the worst and least nutritious, maybe that’s why less fiber.

Pretty much all vegetables do, in their fresh state. When you read the food labels, they are for individual servings so the numbers are rounded down because they are so low. Two servings may equal almost one gram of fiber. If you are concerned about adding more fiber, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, rather than processed.

The fiber is found in the skin.
Most canned vegetables are peeled. Beans are the exception.
We are better off eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
Whole grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat cous cous and spelt have a lot of fiber.

Probably canned are so processed that the fiber content is next to none.
Fresh well of course laden with fiber in certain varieties not all the same ♥
