Legumes & Tofu · Legumes
Black-eyed beans cooked from dried and drained are low FODMAP at 21 g. The Monash app lists 25 g as moderate and 170 g as high. These figures are cooked-bean weights, so the dry beans measured before soaking do not represent the same serving.

Breakdown for 1 cup
Is black eyed beans (dried, boiled, drained) low FODMAP?
The 25 g serving is amber for GOS, while the 170 g serving is red for both GOS and fructans. The listed green and amber black-eyed-bean portions are close together, making a scale more useful than counting beans. The 170 g high serving also shows why a small green portion cannot be extended to a whole bowl. This entry covers plain boiled, drained beans rather than canned beans or a prepared bean-and-rice meal.
Black Eyed Beans (Dried, Boiled, Drained) and IBS: what to know
For a rice dish containing black-eyed beans, measure the bean component before mixing it through the rice. Otherwise, two similar-sized bowls can contain different quantities of beans. The 21 g green reference helps describe what you ate, but your response also depends on the complete dish and your individual tolerance.
Gut-friendly ways to eat black eyed beans (dried, boiled, drained)
Cook the dried beans following their packet, drain them and weigh a portion for your plate. Fold the measured beans into rice or add them to a chopped vegetable salad. A dish cooked entirely in the bean broth does not match the drained preparation behind this entry; do not count the bowl's total weight as its bean weight.
Frequently asked questions
Can I count black-eyed beans instead of weighing them?
Bean sizes vary, and the listed green and amber servings are only 21 g and 25 g. Weighing the cooked, drained portion gives a closer match to the app than counting individual beans.
Does this entry cover canned black-eyed beans?
The checked preparation starts with dried beans and ends with boiled, drained beans. A canned product is a separate preparation and should not automatically inherit these ratings.
Can I swap black-eyed beans for navy beans?
Boiled navy beans also have a listed 21 g green portion, but the shared number does not make the beans or all their larger servings equivalent. Use the guide matching your ingredient.
