Are Blackberries Low FODMAP?

High FODMAP

Avoid during elimination. Save for a structured reintroduction challenge.

Safe serving

No safe serving during elimination

FODMAP group responsible

  • Sorbitol — Polyols. Stone fruit, avocado, and most sugar-free products.

Why

High in sorbitol despite looking like a close relative of the raspberry, which is safe at thirty berries. A good illustration that berries cannot be treated as one category.

What to use instead

  • Raspberries or strawberries

    Both are comfortable at a normal serving and behave nothing like blackberries.
