per 1 cup, cookedHow much fiber is in barley?
Barley delivers 6.3 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 cup, cooked serving, which makes it a good source of fiber. That covers roughly 23% of a 28 gram daily reference intake, so it can make a real dent in your fiber goal for the day.
Of that total, about 1.3 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and 5 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
