How much fiber is in honeydew?

Honeydew has 1.4 g of fiber per 1 cup diced (170 g). That is 5% of the 28 g daily value and a low amount for a fruit. Per 100 g it works out to 0.8 g, which ranks 37 of 39 fruits in the FiberUp database. About 29% of that fiber is soluble and 71% insoluble. It would take 18 servings to reach the 25 g adequate intake for women and 28 for the 38 g for men. Source: USDA FoodData Central.

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 honeydew and fiber

A cup of diced honeydew provides 1.4 grams of fiber, similar to cantaloupe. Melons are hydrating but not meaningful fiber sources.

Nobody should get all their fiber from one food. Gut bacteria respond to variety, and the fiber calculator shows a mixed day that reaches your number.

Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in honeydew?

1 cup diced of honeydew, about 170 grams, contains 1.4 grams of dietary fiber. That is 0.8 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 5% of the 28 gram daily value.

Is honeydew high in fiber?

Not especially. Honeydew has 1.4 g per serving, which ranks 37 of 39 fruits in the FiberUp database. It still counts toward plant diversity, but the fiber in a meal will come from elsewhere.

Is the fiber in honeydew soluble or insoluble?

About 29% of the fiber in honeydew is soluble (0.4 g) and 71% 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 honeydew would reach a daily fiber goal?

It would take about 18 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 28 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.
