per 1 cupHow much fiber is in wheat germ?
Wheat Germ delivers 18.1 grams of dietary fiber in a typical 1 cup serving, which makes it an excellent source of fiber. That covers roughly 65% 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 2.9 g is soluble fiber (which forms a gel in the gut and helps with cholesterol and blood-sugar) and 15.2 g is insoluble fiber (which adds bulk and supports regularity).
