Are Oranges Low FODMAP?
Low FODMAP
Yes. Oranges are low FODMAP in typical servings.
Main FODMAPs: None in typical servings
Why
Oranges contain balanced sugars and no significant polyols, so one orange or a few segments are generally well tolerated. Mandarins and clementines are similar.
Good to know
- Whole fruit is better than juice. Orange juice is concentrated, so large glasses can add up.
- The acid in citrus can irritate some sensitive stomachs, even though it is not a FODMAP issue.
Ways to use it
- Use in place of apples or pears
- Mandarins as a portable snack
- Orange zest for flavor in cooking
