Fig, raw delivers 1.5 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 fig serving, which makes it a small amount of fiber. That covers roughly 5% of a 28 gram daily reference intake, so it adds gently toward your fiber goal for the day.
Of that total, about 0.4 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and 1.1 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
