Soluble vs insoluble

Soluble 0.7g 29% Insoluble 1.7g 71%

The split is approximate and comes from USDA SR Legacy analyses where available. Soluble fiber dissolves into a gel and is the type most linked to cholesterol and blood sugar effects. Insoluble fiber adds bulk and keeps things moving.

About broccoli and fiber

Broccoli gives 2.4 grams per raw cup, and cooking concentrates it because the cup shrinks: a cup of cooked florets is closer to 5 grams. Stems have as much fiber as florets.

Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in broccoli?

1 cup chopped of broccoli, about 91 grams, contains 2.4 grams of dietary fiber. That is 2.6 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 9% of the 28 gram daily value.

Is broccoli high in fiber?

Not especially. Broccoli has 2.4 g per serving, which ranks 24 of 60 vegetables in the FiberUp database. It still counts toward plant diversity, but the fiber in a meal will come from elsewhere.

Is the fiber in broccoli soluble or insoluble?

About 29% of the fiber in broccoli is soluble (0.7 g) and 71% is insoluble (1.7 g). Soluble fiber forms a gel that slows digestion and feeds gut bacteria; insoluble fiber adds bulk and speeds transit.

How many servings of broccoli would reach a daily fiber goal?

It would take about 11 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 16 servings to reach 38 g (adult men). Spreading fiber across several foods is easier and better for gut bacteria diversity.

Values are per typical serving from USDA FoodData Central and standard references, rounded to one decimal. Actual fiber varies with variety, ripeness, and preparation. This is general nutrition information, not medical advice.
