Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in carrot?

1 medium of carrot, about 61 grams, contains 1.7 grams of dietary fiber. That is 2.8 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 6% of the 28 gram daily value.

Is carrot high in fiber?

Not especially. Carrot has 1.7 g per serving, which ranks 41 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 carrot soluble or insoluble?

About 41% of the fiber in carrot is soluble (0.7 g) and 59% is insoluble (1 g). Soluble fiber forms a gel that slows digestion and feeds gut bacteria; insoluble fiber adds bulk and speeds transit.

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

It would take about 15 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 23 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.
