Fiber Content in Common Foods
Here is a list of common foods, according to serving size and their fiber content. You may notice slight differences in fiber content on food packages, in reference books or in brochures about food and health. That may be due to how the fiber was determined (there are a few methods), or that serving size varied, etc. Generally, fiber content is approximately the same for most foods. Some sources give the precise fiber content to the decimal (3.2 grams, for instance), while others round up (or down) to the nearest whole number. The numbers in the chart below are rounded, unless they contain less than 1 gram per serving.
From time to time we will update the chart, giving you more and more food listings.
