Green Peas (Canned, Drained)
Vegetables · Peas
Canned, drained green peas are low FODMAP at 53 g, approximately one-third of a cup, in the Monash app. Their 67 g portion is moderate in GOS and 75 g is high. Both larger amounts are labelled half a cup, so weighing is the clearer way to compare them.

Breakdown for 0.5 cups
Is green peas (canned, drained) low FODMAP?
GOS is the only group that changes across the checked canned-pea panels. It is green at 53 g, amber at 67 g and red at 75 g, while fructose, lactose, mannitol, sorbitol and fructans remain green. The canning and draining qualifiers are part of the result and should stay with these figures.
Green Peas (Canned, Drained) and IBS: what to know
For a meal that includes several spoonfuls of peas, measure the drained total before dividing the dish. A can's net weight may include liquid and does not necessarily describe the peas on your plate. Keeping the pea amount separate is useful when tracking a mixed rice dish, pie filling or vegetable side.
Gut-friendly ways to eat green peas (canned, drained)
Drain the canned peas and weigh the solids you plan to use. They can be scattered through a rice bowl or folded into a recipe while retaining a known ingredient amount per serving. For a different pea preparation, see raw sugar snap peas; canned four-bean mix also needs its own guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is a half-cup of canned green peas low FODMAP?
The verified green reference is about one-third of a cup. Both of the source's half-cup descriptions refer to larger amber or red weights.
Can frozen peas use the canned drained reference?
This page checks the canned preparation. A frozen or fresh pea entry should be consulted separately rather than assuming its portions match.
Should I include the canning liquid on the scale?
No. The tested preparation is drained peas. Weighing peas together with liquid would not match that preparation.
