If you’re new here, these three are the place to start — the foundations everything else builds on.
Does pasta have fiber? Some: a cup of regular cooked pasta has about 2.4 grams. Whole wheat spaghetti has 6 grams per cup, and chickpea pasta lands close behind.
Do raspberries have fiber? Yes: a cup of fresh raspberries has 8 grams for just 64 calories. Much of it is tied to the tiny seeds, which is why seedless purees lose so much.
Do peas have fiber? Yes: a cup of cooked green peas has 8.8 grams for 134 calories. That’s more than double the fiber in a cup of corn with the same calories.
Do pears have fiber? Yes: a medium pear has about 5.5 grams for around 100 calories. That’s more than a medium apple, and an Asian pear carries even more.
Do lentils have fiber? Yes, a lot: one cup of boiled lentils has 15.6 grams for 230 calories. That’s more fiber per cup than almost any grain, fruit or vegetable you can buy.
Do chickpeas have fiber? Plenty: a cup of chickpeas boiled from dry has 12.5 grams. A rinsed cup from a can has 9.6 grams, and chickpea flour has four times the fiber of white flour.
Do cashews have fiber? Yes, but not much: an ounce of raw cashews has about 0.9 grams for 157 calories. Cashews earn their place for copper and magnesium rather than fiber.
How much fiber in kiwi? About 2.2 grams in one green kiwi and 4.4 grams in two, for 90 calories. Two a day is also the amount researchers tested for constipation relief.
Does zucchini have fiber? A little: a cup of sliced raw zucchini has about 1.1 grams for 19 calories. It’s mostly water, so it shines for volume and vitamin C rather than fiber.
Does oat have fiber? Whole oats do: a cup of dry oats has about 8.1 grams. How much reaches you depends on the form, from oat bran at the top to oat milk, which keeps only about 1.2 grams per cup.
Does kale have fiber? Yes: a cup of cooked kale has about 4.7 grams for just 43 calories. Raw or cooked, kale carries about 4 grams per 100 grams, and it comes with a huge dose of vitamin K.
Does hummus have fiber? Yes: a quarter cup of store-bought hummus has about 3.4 grams. Scoop for scoop it even edges out plain chickpeas, though it brings about twice the calories.
