Amaranth

High FODMAP (Avoid)High in fructans + GOS

Is amaranth low FODMAP?

Amaranth is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Despite being a gluten-free grain, amaranth tested high in fructans and GOS at normal cooked servings, so it is one to save for reintroduction. Puffed amaranth is gentler in small amounts.

FODMAP subgroups to watch
