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 7 g in a 1 tbsp serving of psyllium husk is 28% of the first and 18% of the second. US food labels use a single Daily Value of 28 g instead, which puts this serving at 25%.
By serving, psyllium husk comes 1st of the 1 supplements in the database. This entry is not tied to a single USDA record with a matching portion, so no per-calorie figure is shown.
Getting all 25 g from psyllium husk alone would take 4 servings, and 38 g would take 6. Most days reach the target through several different sources.

You have the number. Adding Psyllium husk 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.
