How much fiber is in prunes?

Prunes delivers 6.2 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1/2 cup serving, which makes it a good source of fiber. That covers roughly 22% 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 3 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and 3.2 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
