The high 40 g reference is half a cup. No household description was shown for the moderate 11 g portion, so this guide does not invent a slice count or spoon conversion for it.

Breakdown for 0.5 cups
Is hawthorn / haw (dried) low FODMAP?

Hawthorn / Haw (Dried) and IBS: what to know
For IBS food planning, a measured culinary quantity is more useful than describing hawthorn generally as good for digestion. The FODMAP check does not establish a medical benefit, an herbal-extract dose or the suitability of a supplement. Discuss such products separately with a qualified professional.
Gut-friendly ways to eat hawthorn / haw (dried)
Weigh the dried fruit before adding it to a recipe and record how much is assigned to each serving. When preparing a strained drink, the entry does not quantify transfer into the liquid. Dried jujube and dried longan require separate ingredient checks if used together.
Frequently asked questions
Are haw flakes covered by the dried-hawthorn numbers?
No. The candy is a separate processed food. Its name or fruit flavour does not make the dried-fruit measurements transferable.
Can I convert the fruit portion into a tea allowance?
No tested infusion strength or cup volume was supplied by the inspected entry.
Is the largest serving high in both changing groups?
Sorbitol is high, while fructans are moderate. Keeping those distinct is more accurate than calling both high.
