Portion-dependent
Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.
Safe serving
1 medium common tomato; cherry 45 g; canned 92 g
FODMAP group responsible
- Excess fructose — Monosaccharides. A problem only when fructose outweighs glucose, as in honey and apple.
Why
Common tomatoes are low FODMAP at one medium. Cherry tomatoes are more concentrated at 45 g, and canned tomatoes at 92 g — roughly a quarter of a standard tin, which is considerably less than most sauce recipes assume per person.
