Are Carrots Low FODMAP?
Low FODMAP
Yes. Carrots are low FODMAP and easy to include in most meals.
Main FODMAPs: None in typical servings
Why
Carrots are one of the safest vegetables on a low FODMAP diet. They are naturally sweet without the excess fructose or polyols that cause trouble in other vegetables, and they work raw, roasted, boiled, or grated.
Good to know
- Carrot juice is more concentrated, so portions matter.
- Check sauces, glazes, and soups for onion, garlic, or honey.
Ways to use it
- Use in place of onion and celery as a base for soups, with garlic-infused oil for flavor
- Roast with maple syrup and herbs
- Raw sticks with a low FODMAP dip
