Per 100 g it works out to 1.9 g, which ranks 18 of 60 vegetables in the FiberUp database. About 32% of that fiber is soluble and 68% insoluble. It would take 9 servings to reach the 25 g adequate intake for women and 14 for the 38 g for men. Source: USDA FoodData Central.

Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in cooked cabbage?

1 cup of cooked cabbage, about 150 grams, contains 2.8 grams of dietary fiber. That is 1.9 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 10% of the 28 gram daily value.

Is cooked cabbage high in fiber?

Not especially. Cooked Cabbage has 2.8 g per serving, which ranks 18 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 cooked cabbage soluble or insoluble?

About 32% of the fiber in cooked cabbage is soluble (0.9 g) and 68% is insoluble (1.9 g). Soluble fiber forms a gel that slows digestion and feeds gut bacteria; insoluble fiber adds bulk and speeds transit.

How many servings of cooked cabbage would reach a daily fiber goal?

It would take about 9 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 14 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.
