Date
Date is high in Salicylate, FODMAPs and Fructose. It has low levels of Histamine, Sucrose, Sorbitol and Oxalates. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateHigh
- FODMAPsHigh
drying concentrates the sugars, so dried fruit is much higher in FODMAP than the fresh fruit. Even a small handful can go over the low-FODMAP limit.
- FructoseHigh
this fruit is high in fructose (more fructose than glucose), which is poorly absorbed in fructose malabsorption. Tolerance is dose-dependent and improves when it's eaten with a glucose source, since glucose helps carry the fructose across the gut.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does date affect?
date is notable for Salicylate, FODMAPs, Fructose, Histamine, Sucrose, Sorbitol and Oxalates.
Does date contain Salicylate?
Yes — date is high in Salicylate.
Does date contain FODMAPs?
Yes — date is high in FODMAPs. drying concentrates the sugars, so dried fruit is much higher in FODMAP than the fresh fruit. Even a small handful can go over the low-FODMAP limit.
Does date contain Fructose?
Yes — date is high in Fructose. this fruit is high in fructose (more fructose than glucose), which is poorly absorbed in fructose malabsorption. Tolerance is dose-dependent and improves when it's eaten with a glucose source, since glucose helps carry the fructose across the gut.
Does date contain Histamine?
date contains only low levels of Histamine. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
