Breakdown for 1 apple
Is apple (pink, peeled, raw) low FODMAP?
Fructose is amber at 31 g while sorbitol remains green. Both groups are red at 165 g, and lactose, mannitol, GOS and fructans remain green. The small serving is described as approximately one-eighth of a medium apple, and the moderate serving as one-quarter. Grams are the clearer comparison.
Apple (pink, peeled, raw) and IBS: what to know
The moderate group differs from peeled Granny Smith, where the inspected amber portion involves sorbitol. That distinction is useful when recording which apple and portion you tried. It does not predict an individual's response or make either variety universally better for IBS.
Gut-friendly ways to eat apple (pink, peeled, raw)
Peel the pink apple before weighing its edible slices. If adding it to yoghurt or cereal, keep the apple weight separate from the bowl's total weight. For skin-on fruit, use unpeeled pink apple, whose green reference is 20 g. Neither entry establishes a portion for apple purée, juice or dried rings.
Frequently asked questions
Is sorbitol moderate in the 31 g peeled pink apple portion?
No. Fructose is amber in that panel, while sorbitol is green. Both are high at the medium-apple reference.
Can I call this a test of every Pink Lady apple product?
The observed entry says pink apple. It does not identify every cultivar, brand or processed apple product.
Should I weigh before peeling?
Peel first to match the checked preparation, then weigh the edible fruit intended for your serving.
