Hulled green lentils have a low FODMAP serving of 29 g after boiling and draining, around two tablespoons. A 34 g serving is moderate, and the app's 185 g cup-sized serving is high. These portions cover lentils prepared from dried, not a can or a ready-made lentil dish.

Breakdown for 1 cup
Is green lentils (hulled, dried, boiled, drained) low FODMAP?
The app shows amber GOS at 34 g. At 185 g, GOS and fructans are both red, so the presence of a small green serving does not make a large bowl low FODMAP. Red lentils and Le Puy lentils each have their own entries rather than one shared lentil allowance.
Green Lentils (Hulled, Dried, Boiled, Drained) and IBS: what to know
For a salad topped with green lentils, weigh the lentils before tossing them through the vegetables. The 29 g portion is small enough that a heaped serving spoon can obscure how much was added. Record the actual serving if you are assessing tolerance, rather than assuming every lentil salad will affect you in the same way.
Gut-friendly ways to eat green lentils (hulled, dried, boiled, drained)
Cook and drain the hulled green lentils as directed on their packet, then portion them with a scale. Keep them separate from salad dressing until you have measured your serving. When changing a recipe from green lentils to red lentils, check the new entry as well as the recipe's texture and liquid requirements.
Frequently asked questions
When should I weigh green lentils?
Weigh them after cooking and draining for this entry. Measuring 29 g of dry green lentils does not reproduce its tested cooked serving.
Are all green-looking lentils covered by this page?
This page matches the app's hulled green-lentil entry. A packet identified as Le Puy lentils has a separate guide, so check the label rather than relying on colour alone.
Can a large portion be made low FODMAP by draining it?
The 185 g high rating already describes drained green lentils. Draining is part of the preparation behind the result; it does not make that larger portion green.
