Jicama
Is jicama low FODMAP?
Jicama is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (Safe to a small handful (~70g), fructans above).
A crisp, mildly sweet root eaten raw or in slaws. A small serving is low FODMAP, but it is naturally high in inulin, so larger portions climb in fructans.
FODMAP subgroups to watch
Jicama contains fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.
Portion threshold
Inulin fructans climb past a small serving. Single typical servings stay in the rated range; larger servings push past the threshold.
Low-FODMAP vegetables to try instead
A single food is only half the story. Eating jicama in a bigger meal? See how it stacks with the rest of your plate.
