How much fiber is in persimmon?
Persimmon has 6 g of fiber per 1 medium (168 g). That is 21% of the 28 g daily value and a high amount for a fruit. Per 100 g it works out to 3.6 g, which ranks 3 of 39 fruits in the FiberUp database. About 40% of that fiber is soluble and 60% insoluble. It would take 5 servings to reach the 25 g adequate intake for women and 7 for the 38 g for men. Source: USDA FoodData Central.
Soluble vs insoluble
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.
