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 9.2 g in a 1 cup serving of pinto beans and brown rice is 37% of the first and 24% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 33%.
Calorie for calorie, the figure is 3.3 g of fiber per 100 kcal (this serving is 279 kcal). Among the 114 legumes & beans with USDA energy data here that is 80th, and 288th across all 957. The intakes above were derived from 14 g of fiber per 1,000 kcal, or 1.4 g per 100 kcal, so this food sits above the ratio a whole day of eating is meant to reach.
Getting all 25 g from pinto beans and brown rice alone would take 3 servings, and 38 g would take 5. Most days reach the target through several different sources.

Gram weights come from the household measures on the USDA record; fiber and energy for each portion are its per-100 g values scaled to that weight.
You have the number. Adding Pinto Beans and Brown Rice 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.
