Breakdown for 1 teaspoon
Is wasabi powder (uk) low FODMAP?
All six groups are low at 5 g. At both 14 g and 17 g, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructans are moderate, while fructose, lactose, mannitol and sorbitol remain low. The powder's portions describe its dry weight. They do not apply to the weight of a paste after water is added or to a different commercial wasabi formulation.
Wasabi Powder (UK) and IBS: what to know
For IBS notes, record how much powder you mix and how much of the resulting paste you eat. A small mound of prepared paste gives little information about the original dry amount unless you know the recipe. Keep the product label and any additional sauces in the record when comparing meals.
Gut-friendly ways to eat wasabi powder (uk)
Measure dry powder before preparing it according to the pack directions. Divide the resulting mixture into known portions rather than estimating its dry content afterwards. Wasabi paste containing sorbitol has very different portion information and a different elevated group; its small serving weights must not be borrowed for this powder or vice versa.
