Is Butternut squash Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.

Safe serving

30 g, about 2 tablespoons cooked

FODMAP group responsible

  • Mannitol — Polyols. Cauliflower, mushrooms, celery, sweet potato.

Why

A surprisingly low threshold at 30 g on mannitol, well below a normal roast-vegetable portion. Canned pumpkin is more generous at around 60 g.

What to use instead

  • Carrot or pumpkin

    Carrot is unrestricted and roasts to a similar sweetness.
