One serving against a day's fiber

The Dietary Reference Intakes set an Adequate Intake for total fiber of 25 g a day for women aged 19 to 50 and 38 g for men of the same ages. Measured against those, the 8.1 g in a 1 cup shelled serving of edamame is 32% of the first and 21% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 29%.

Calorie for calorie, the figure is 4.3 g of fiber per 100 kcal (this serving is 188 kcal). Among the 114 legumes & beans with USDA energy data here that is 49th, and 192nd across all 957. The intakes above were derived from 14 g of fiber per 1,000 kcal, or 1.4 g per 100 kcal, so this food sits above the ratio a whole day of eating is meant to reach.

Getting all 25 g from edamame alone would take 4 servings, and 38 g would take 5. Most days reach the target through several different sources.
