For this skin-on acorn pumpkin entry, fructans are amber at 74 g and red at 75 g.

The peeled acorn-squash guide has separate values and should be used when the peel is removed.
Acorn Pumpkin / Squash (Unpeeled, Raw) and IBS: what to know
The 59 g green reference can help portion a recipe made with skin-on acorn squash, but the app's adjacent 74 g and 75 g ratings should not encourage testing your own tolerance one gram at a time. For food-diary comparisons, keep the preparation consistent and record the raw amount rather than just the number of roasted wedges.
Gut-friendly ways to eat acorn pumpkin / squash (unpeeled, raw)
Remove the seeds while keeping the skin for this preparation, then weigh the raw edible pieces. Cut portions before cooking so the amount in a shared tray is easier to track. When making a recipe that requires peeling, switch to the peeled guide instead of carrying over the skin-on allowance.
Frequently asked questions
Is acorn squash with the skin on low FODMAP?
The app's raw unpeeled entry is green at 59 g. It becomes amber at 74 g and red at 75 g for the listed portions.
Why do 74 g and 75 g have different colours?
Those are the portions displayed by the app for this tested entry. They should not be interpreted as proof that one extra gram causes symptoms, and the rounded cup descriptions cannot capture that difference.
Can I use 59 g for peeled acorn squash?
The peeled raw entry has its own green portion of 54 g. Match the preparation rather than moving the skin-on amount to a peeled recipe.
