Is cumquats (peeled, raw) low FODMAP?
The peeled entry shows green fructose, lactose, mannitol, sorbitol and GOS across all three portions. Fructans change colour at the larger weights. Unpeeled cumquats have a separate tested profile, so peeling should not be treated as a proven method for increasing tolerance.

Can I weigh the fruit before peeling?
That would include material absent from the checked preparation. For this entry, weigh the portion after removing the peel.
Can I replace cumquats with mandarin?
Choose the Imperial mandarin guide for its own serving evidence. Citrus fruits do not all share the same changing FODMAP group.
