Frequently asked questions

How much fiber is in raw cabbage?

1 cup shredded of raw cabbage, about 89 grams, contains 2.2 grams of dietary fiber. That is 2.5 grams of fiber per 100 grams and 8% of the 28 gram daily value.

Is raw cabbage high in fiber?

Not especially. Raw Cabbage has 2.2 g per serving, which ranks 28 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 raw cabbage soluble or insoluble?

About 32% of the fiber in raw cabbage is soluble (0.7 g) and 68% is insoluble (1.5 g). Soluble fiber forms a gel that slows digestion and feeds gut bacteria; insoluble fiber adds bulk and speeds transit.

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

It would take about 12 servings to reach 25 g (the adequate intake for adult women) and 18 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.
