Intolerances
- OligosaccharidesHigh
- FODMAPsModerate
this is high in FODMAP from GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) and fructans. Canned and well-rinsed versions are lower in FODMAP, and a small portion is usually tolerated.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
Not a fermented food, but it is blended and then kept open in the fridge — and amines build in an opened jar. The date you opened it matters more than the date on the lid.
