Jujube / Red Date (Raw)
Fruits · Fruits
Raw jujubes, labelled red dates in the app, are low FODMAP at 64 g, around 6½ dates. The listed 81 g portion is moderate and 100 g high. Fructans are the only group that changes colour across these raw-fruit references.
Serving sizes for jujube / red date (raw)
The moderate 81 g portion is described as eight dates, and the high 100 g portion as ten. Those counts are approximate. The app heading does not offer a separate pit-weight conversion, so no precise whole-to-pitted calculation is claimed here.

Breakdown for 10 dates
Is jujube / red date (raw) low FODMAP?
The detailed panels show all six groups green at the low portion, with fructans amber and then red as the weight rises. Fructose remains green at each reference. Dried jujube is a separate preparation with different weights and a different largest-portion group pattern.
Jujube / Red Date (Raw) and IBS: what to know
When planning fruit for IBS, use the raw label to avoid confusing fresh jujubes with dried red dates sold for cooking. The measurements describe the checked food and are not an individual tolerance test. Recording preparation and amount helps make comparisons more meaningful.
Gut-friendly ways to eat jujube / red date (raw)
Set out the portion before eating from a shared bowl or slicing the fruit for a salad. Check any other fruit separately, including unpeeled feijoa. Preserving jujubes in syrup or making a sweetened drink creates a recipe that the raw entry does not directly assess.
Frequently asked questions
Does the word red date make this an ordinary dried date?
No. This entry identifies raw jujube; the preparation and fruit identity matter more than the shared everyday word.
Which group is relevant at larger portions?
Fructans increase from green to amber to red in the checked panels. The other five groups remain green.
Can I substitute dried jujubes by fruit count?
No. Drying changes the product and its weight, so use the dried entry rather than matching the number of fruit.
