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 1.6 g in a 1/2 cup serving of kimchi is 6% of the first and 4% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 6%.

By serving, kimchi comes 179th of the 179 vegetables in the database. This entry is not tied to a single USDA record with a matching portion, so no per-calorie figure is shown.

Getting all 25 g from kimchi alone would take 16 servings, and 38 g would take 24. Most days reach the target through several different sources.

Premium

Keep more than 14 days of your fiber log

You have the number. Adding Kimchi to the tracker is free - as is every one of the 961 foods here - but the tracker only keeps the last 14 days in view. Premium keeps every week of your log and turns that history into trends: your average fiber per logged day, the days you hit your goal, and how many of the 30 weekly plant groups you have actually eaten. Custom foods and JSON/CSV export are included.
