Portion-dependent
Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.
Safe serving
75 g, about 15 beans
FODMAP group responsible
- Sorbitol — Polyols. Stone fruit, avocado, and most sugar-free products.
Why
Low FODMAP at roughly fifteen beans and moderate beyond that on sorbitol. Worth counting rather than eyeballing, because a normal-looking side portion is often double the threshold.
Recipes using green beans
Crispy Tofu and Green Bean Stir-Fry
A proper vegetarian main that is not just a side dish with more of it. The trick is drying the tofu properly before it ever meets the pan.
