Strawberries
Why are strawberries low FODMAP?
Strawberries have a balanced fructose-to-glucose ratio and low polyol content, making them low FODMAP at generous portions. Monash University certifies up to 10 medium strawberries (150g) as low FODMAP — a meaningful portion for a fruit.
Strawberries are also low in sorbitol, which makes them safer than most other berries. They're an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants, making them both safe and nutritious for IBS management.
