Breakdown for 1 cup
Is blue peas (boiled, drained, india) low FODMAP?
The 31 g portion shows amber for both GOS and fructans, with both groups red at 180 g. Blue peas have their own entry, separate from frozen green peas, canned peas and split peas. A serving figure from one of those foods cannot establish the rating for blue peas. The app's three listed amounts—27 g, 31 g and 180 g—provide reference servings for this exact whole-pea preparation.
Blue Peas (Boiled, Drained, India) and IBS: what to know
The small gap between the 27 g green serving and the 31 g amber serving makes an unmeasured spoonful a poor way to compare meals. If you track a blue-pea dish, note the cooked weight and whether the cooking liquid was retained. The India flag identifies the source entry checked rather than a rating for every recipe using blue peas.
Gut-friendly ways to eat blue peas (boiled, drained, india)
Keep the dried-pea packet so you can match its name to the whole blue-pea entry. Follow its preparation directions, drain the cooked peas and weigh your portion before mixing with rice or vegetables. When a recipe calls for split peas, use that ingredient's own information rather than substituting the blue-pea figures.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use green-pea portions for blue peas?
The checked entry is specifically whole blue peas cooked from dried. Green peas sold frozen or canned are different entries, so their portion advice should not replace the 27 g blue-pea reference.
Are blue peas weighed dry or cooked?
Use the weight after boiling and draining. A dry 27 g measure does not account for the water taken up during preparation.
Does this guide cover pea soup?
It covers drained whole blue peas, not a finished soup. A recipe retaining the cooking water or using another pea variety needs its own assessment.
