Breakdown for 0.5 cups
Is vegetarian mince (wheat protein based, contains onion, cooked) low FODMAP?
Fructans are amber at 17 g and red at 75 g; GOS remains green at both portions. These results describe the whole mince formulation. They do not isolate how much each ingredient contributes, establish a result for onion-free wheat mince, or rate plain wheat protein on its own.
Vegetarian Mince (Wheat Protein Based, Contains Onion, Cooked) and IBS: what to know
The small 14 g green amount may not suit the quantity of mince your recipe calls for. If choosing a different filling, compare a separately checked product such as plain mycoprotein mince. A small green portion of this onion-containing food also does not establish how you personally tolerate other onion dishes.
Gut-friendly ways to eat vegetarian mince (wheat protein based, contains onion, cooked)
Keep the package description handy when matching this cooked, onion-containing product to its entry. Weigh the mince after preparing it as directed, before combining it with the other filling ingredients. Choosing a product without onion changes the formulation, so check that alternative separately rather than calculating a new allowance by subtracting an assumed onion amount.
Frequently asked questions
Can a food containing onion have a small green portion?
This checked mixture does: 14 g is green. That finding applies to the tested mixture and amount, not to a separate portion of onion.
Does removing onion from a recipe make 75 g low FODMAP?
The entry cannot establish that. Removing an ingredient changes the recipe, and the original test does not provide a replacement rating.
Does this page cover plain seitan or other wheat-protein foods?
No. It covers a cooked mince that contains onion. Other wheat-protein preparations need their own ingredient and serving information.
