If you’re new here, these three are the place to start — the foundations everything else builds on.
How much fiber in chia seeds? One tablespoon has about 4.1 grams and a 1 ounce serving about 9.8 grams. By weight, chia is about one third fiber, more than flax and most nuts.
Does celery have fiber? Yes: a medium stalk has about 0.6 grams and a cup of chopped celery about 1.6 grams, for just 14 calories. Celery is mostly water, so it adds fiber slowly, and juicing strips much of what’s there.
Does cabbage have fiber? Yes: a cup of chopped raw green cabbage has about 2.2 grams for just 22 calories, and a cup of cooked savoy or red cabbage has about 4 grams. The amount shifts a lot between varieties, so the type you buy matters.
Do tomatoes have fiber? Yes, but not much when fresh: a medium raw tomato has about 1.5 grams. Concentrated forms change the picture, with a cup of canned tomatoes at about 4.6 grams and a cup of sun-dried tomatoes at 6.6 grams.
Do oranges have fiber? Yes: a medium orange has about 3 to 3.7 grams, depending on its size, for 60 to 75 calories. A cup of orange juice has about half a gram, so the fiber stays with the whole fruit.
Does spinach have fiber? Yes, but how much depends on the form: a cup of raw leaves has under 1 gram, while a cup of cooked spinach has about 4.3 grams and a cup of cooked frozen spinach about 7 grams. Same leaf, very different serving.
Does corn have fiber? Yes: a medium ear of cooked sweet corn has about 2.5 grams and a cup of cooked kernels about 4 grams. Most of it is insoluble fiber in the tough skin of each kernel, which is why corn sometimes passes through looking whole.
Do strawberries have fiber? Yes: a cup of strawberry halves has about 3 grams for under 50 calories. That puts them in the middle of the fruit pack, behind raspberries and blackberries but ahead of grapes and melon.
Do cucumbers have fiber? A little: a whole 8 inch cucumber with the peel has about 1.5 grams, and a cup of slices has about half a gram. Cucumbers are about 95% water, so they hydrate and crunch more than they add fiber.
Does lettuce have fiber? Yes, but not much: a cup of shredded romaine has about 1 gram and a cup of iceberg just under 1 gram. Lettuce is mostly water, so its real value is vitamins and crunch, with the fiber coming from what you add to the bowl.
Does broccoli have fiber? Yes: a cup of cooked broccoli has 5.2 grams for just 54 calories. A cup of raw chopped broccoli has about 2.4 grams, because raw florets take up more room in the cup.
What vegetables are high in fiber? Cooked artichoke leads at 9.6 grams per cup, followed by green peas, canned pumpkin and Brussels sprouts. Cooked greens like turnip greens, collards and kale add about 5 grams per cup for very few calories.
