How much fiber is in snap peas?
Snap Peas have 1.6 g of fiber per 1 cup (63 g). That is 6% of the 28 g daily value and a moderate amount for a vegetable. Per 100 g it works out to 2.5 g, which rank 42 of 60 vegetables in the FiberUp database. About 25% of that fiber is soluble and 75% insoluble. It would take 16 servings to reach the 25 g adequate intake for women and 24 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.
About snap peas and fiber
A cup of sugar snap peas gives 1.6 grams of fiber, lower than shelled green peas because the pods are mostly water. They are low FODMAP and work as a raw snack.
