Bean Curd Skin
Legumes & Tofu · Legumes
Bean curd skin has a low FODMAP serving of 12 g in the checked Monash app card. The listed 15 g portion is moderate and 25 g is high. This entry is for bean curd skin specifically, so the result should not be treated as a general allowance for all tofu products.

Breakdown for 25 g
Is bean curd skin low FODMAP?
Fructans are amber at 15 g and red at 25 g; GOS is also amber at the larger 25 g serving. This pattern is specific to bean curd skin rather than all tofu products. The checked entry does not establish a dry-to-soaked weight conversion, and a stuffed roll includes more than the skin alone.
Bean Curd Skin and IBS: what to know
If a restaurant dish is described as tofu skin or bean curd skin, identify whether it includes a filling, sauce or other ingredients before comparing it with the 12 g reference. A whole roll's weight may not tell you how much skin was used. The green result also does not predict your response to a prepared dish.
Gut-friendly ways to eat bean curd skin
Keep the product's preparation instructions and measure the bean curd skin separately from any filling or sauce. Confirm the product form against the current app entry when deciding when to weigh it; do not invent a conversion between dried and rehydrated sheets. For a different soy ingredient, use that ingredient's own guide rather than extending this small portion to every soy food.
Frequently asked questions
Is bean curd skin rated the same as tofu?
Bean curd skin is separately listed in the app, with a 12 g green serving. The rating for a block of tofu cannot establish the portion for sheets or pieces of bean curd skin.
Does 12 g mean a whole stuffed bean-curd-skin roll?
The entry is for the skin itself. A prepared roll may include filling and sauce, so its total weight is not a direct measure of the bean curd skin inside it.
Can I convert the serving between dry and soaked sheets?
The checked card does not supply that conversion. Confirm the preparation in the current app and the product instructions instead of assuming the same numerical weight in both forms.
