Prunes are not a high-fiber food, but two medium prunes do contain about 2 grams of fiber and a Â½ cup of prune juice has about 2.6 grams, notes the University of Mississippi Medical Center. There are other foods high in fiber, such as whole grain cereals which can have between eight and 20 grams of fiber per Â¾ cup.
