per 1 medium bakedHow much fiber is in sweet potato?
Sweet potato delivers 3.8 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 medium baked serving, which makes it a moderate source of fiber. That covers roughly 14% of a 28 gram daily reference intake, so it adds gently toward your fiber goal for the day.
Of that total, about 0.8 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and 3 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
USDA FoodData Central; total dietary fiber nutrient 1079. Soluble and insoluble grams are category-based estimates, not lab-measured values.
