Guava (Firm, Peeled, Raw)
Fruits · Fruits
Firm guava, peeled and raw, is low FODMAP at 11 g, approximately two teaspoons. The app rates 15 g as moderate and 90 g as high. Fructose is the changing group, so the small green portion should not be confused with a whole-fruit serving.
Serving sizes for guava (firm, peeled, raw)
The moderate 15 g portion is one tablespoon and the high 90 g portion one medium fruit in the app. Household measures are approximate; weighing is preferable to assuming a particular slice or whole fruit matches the green reference.

Breakdown for 90 g
Is guava (firm, peeled, raw) low FODMAP?
At the green weight every displayed group is green. Fructose alone becomes amber and then red at the two larger references. The word firm is part of the tested description; canned guava in syrup, drained is a different preparation with its own results.
Guava (Firm, Peeled, Raw) and IBS: what to know
For IBS planning, identify the guava preparation before choosing a quantity. A small measured amount can be used for flavour, but these numbers do not describe all guavas at every stage of ripeness. Note the portion and firmness in your food record if comparing experiences.
Gut-friendly ways to eat guava (firm, peeled, raw)
Peel the firm fruit and weigh the amount before chopping it into a suitable topping or fruit mixture. When the green portion is this small, a heaped spoon can be difficult to judge. Green papaya provides a separate guide if you want another ingredient in the bowl.
Frequently asked questions
Is ripe guava covered by the firm-guava check?
No. Ripeness is explicitly distinguished in the app. Choose the matching entry rather than transferring the firm-fruit result.
Does peeling itself make guava low FODMAP?
The inspected entry gives results for peeled firm guava. It does not compare peel-on fruit or demonstrate that peeling causes a lower rating.
Can I use these numbers for guava nectar?
Nectar, juice and sweetened drinks were not checked here; this guide concerns raw peeled fruit only.
