If you’re new here, these three are the place to start — the foundations everything else builds on.
Does mango have fiber? Yes: a cup of fresh mango pieces has about 2.6 grams, and a whole mango has about 5.4 grams. Sweetened dried mango keeps some fiber but packs far more sugar per bite, so fresh is the better pick for fiber.
Does coffee have fiber? A little: researchers measured about 0.47 to 0.75 grams of soluble fiber per 100 milliliters of brewed coffee, or roughly 1 to 2 grams in an 8 ounce cup. Standard nutrition databases still list it at zero.
Does cantaloupe have fiber? A little: one cup of cubes has about 1.4 grams. Where cantaloupe really shines is vitamins, with that same cup covering about 65% of your vitamin C and 30% of your vitamin A.
Does bread have fiber? Yes, but the amount swings widely: a slice of white bread has under 1 gram, while a slice of whole wheat, rye or pumpernickel has about 2 grams. The flour on the ingredient list matters far more than the color of the loaf.
Do dates have fiber? Yes: one Medjool date has about 1.6 grams, and a quarter cup of chopped Deglet Noor dates has about 3 grams. They’re also very high in natural sugar, so a few dates go a long way.
Do almonds have fiber? Yes: an ounce of raw almonds, about 23 nuts, has 3.5 grams, more than any other common nut. But almond milk and almond paste keep very little of it, so the form you choose decides how much fiber you get.
Does pineapple have fiber? Yes: a cup of fresh pineapple chunks has about 2.3 grams for 83 calories. Canned pineapple has less fiber per bite, so fresh is the better pick if fiber is your goal.
Does peanut butter have fiber? Yes, but not much: 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter have about 1.6 grams, and chunky has about 2.6 grams. It works best as a fiber helper alongside bread, fruit or oats rather than a main source.
Do nuts have fiber? Yes: most nuts give you about 2 to 3.5 grams per one-ounce handful, with almonds at the top and cashews near the bottom. The gap between the best and worst nut is almost fourfold, so the bag you reach for matters.
Do green beans have fiber? Yes: a cup of raw green beans has about 2.7 grams for 31 calories, and a cup of cooked frozen green beans about 3.8 grams. They’re a light, steady fiber source rather than a heavy hitter like dried beans.
Do cherries have fiber? Yes: a cup of pitted sweet cherries has about 3.2 grams for 97 calories. Dried and canned cherries are a different story, so the form you buy changes how much fiber you actually get.
Do beans have fiber? Yes, plenty: half a cup of cooked navy beans has 9.6 grams and a cup of black beans about 15 grams. Beans are among the richest everyday fiber sources you can buy.
