Dried peach

Dried peach: high in FODMAPs and sorbitol; moderate in salicylate, fructose and nickel; low in histamine, sucrose and oxalates. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsHigh
Dried peach carries the stone fruit's sorbitol with the water taken out, so a few pieces deliver what a whole peach would. It is less common than dried apricot and behaves the same way, threshold included.

- SorbitolFODMAPsHigh
Dried peach concentrates the sorbitol of the fresh fruit into a fraction of the weight, so a few pieces carry what a whole peach would.

- SalicylateModerate
The fresh peach is lower; drying concentrates the salicylate that was there. Peeling before drying removes some of it, but commercial dried peach is usually dried with the skin on.

- FructoseFODMAPsModerate
A dried peach concentrates what the fresh one carries, and Muir measured the peach as carrying more fructose than glucose. Drying removes water and not sugar, so the dried form cannot sit below the fresh one — that part is a derivation rather than a second measurement, and it is worth saying so.

- NickelModerate
Dried peach concentrates the fresh fruit several times over as the water leaves. The peach was low to begin with, which is why this lands at moderate rather than higher. Drying is the whole question for nickel: water leaves and everything else stays, so a dried fruit carries the metal concentrated by weight. The level here follows a study of trace elements in DRIED fruit for that reason.

- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
A dried peach starts from a low-histamine fresh fruit, and drying concentrates rather than creates: the water leaves and everything else stays. Sun-dried fruit has had more warm hours than kiln-dried, which is the variable no label records.

- SucroseLow
Dried peach concentrates a fruit whose sugar sits mostly as free monosaccharides, so it climbs on the fructose axis without climbing much here.
- OxalatesLow
Dried peach is low in oxalate, concentrated by drying like any dried fruit: what was a whole peach is now a strip, and a hundred grams of strips is several peaches. Count the strips, not the peaches they were.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does dried peach affect?
Dried peach is notable for FODMAPs, sorbitol, salicylate, fructose, nickel, histamine, sucrose and oxalates. Clear on tyramine, lactose, oligosaccharides and gluten.
Does dried peach contain FODMAPs?
Yes — dried peach is high in FODMAPs. Dried peach carries the stone fruit's sorbitol with the water taken out, so a few pieces deliver what a whole peach would. It is less common than dried apricot and behaves the same way, threshold included.
Does dried peach contain sorbitol?
Yes — dried peach is high in sorbitol. Dried peach concentrates the sorbitol of the fresh fruit into a fraction of the weight, so a few pieces carry what a whole peach would.
Does dried peach contain salicylate?
Dried peach contains moderate levels of salicylate. The fresh peach is lower; drying concentrates the salicylate that was there. Peeling before drying removes some of it, but commercial dried peach is usually dried with the skin on.
Does dried peach contain fructose?
Dried peach contains moderate levels of fructose. A dried peach concentrates what the fresh one carries, and Muir measured the peach as carrying more fructose than glucose. Drying removes water and not sugar, so the dried form cannot sit below the fresh one — that part is a derivation rather than a second measurement, and it is worth saying so. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
