per 1 cup cookedHow much fiber is in broccoli?
Broccoli delivers 5.1 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 cup cooked serving, which makes it a good source of fiber. That covers roughly 18% 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 1.1 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and 4 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
USDA FoodData Central; total dietary fiber nutrient 1079. Soluble and insoluble grams are category-based estimates, not lab-measured values.
