Are Green beans Low FODMAP?

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.
