per 1 mediumHow much fiber is in sweet potato?
Sweet Potato delivers 4.5 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 medium serving, which makes it a moderate source of fiber. That covers roughly 16% of a 28 gram daily reference intake, so it adds gently toward your fiber goal for the day.
Of that total, about 1.3 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).
