Are Green peas Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

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

Safe serving

15 g, about 1 tablespoon

FODMAP group responsible

  • GOS — Oligosaccharides. Galacto-oligosaccharides — legumes, pulses and some nuts.
  • Fructans — Oligosaccharides. Wheat, onion, garlic. The most common trigger and the hardest to avoid.

Why

The threshold is far lower than people expect — roughly a tablespoon. Peas are a legume and carry GOS accordingly, which makes the handful most recipes call for a genuine dose.

What to use instead

  • Green beans

    Low FODMAP at 75 g and fill a similar role on the plate.
