How much fiber is in tortilla chips?
Tortilla Chips have 1.5 g of fiber per 1 oz (28 g). That is 5% of the 28 g daily value and a moderate amount for a grain. Per 100 g it works out to 5.4 g, which rank 34 of 41 grains in the FiberUp database. About 20% of that fiber is soluble and 80% insoluble. It would take 17 servings to reach the 25 g adequate intake for women and 26 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 tortilla chips and fiber
