Swede
Is swede low FODMAP?
Swede is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (Safe to 1/3 cup (75g), sorbitol + GOS above).
A hardy yellow-fleshed brassica root with a sweet, earthy flavor, good roasted or mashed. A small serving is low; sorbitol and GOS build up in larger amounts. As a cruciferous root it can be gassy for some.
FODMAP subgroups to watch
Swede contains sorbitol, GOS that can drive SIBO symptoms.
Portion threshold
Sorbitol + GOS climb past ~1/2 cup. Single typical servings stay in the rated range; larger servings push past the threshold.
SIBO note
Watch this one for ISO (hydrogen sulfide overproduction). Swede contains sulfur compounds, and ISO patterns can be more sensitive to these, especially in larger servings.
Low-FODMAP vegetables to try instead
A single food is only half the story. Eating swede in a bigger meal? See how it stacks with the rest of your plate.
