What to know about pickle relish
Pickle relish is chopped pickled cucumber and onion in a sweet vinegar brine, and that onion is why it lands high FODMAP. The fructans are graded D, so a spoonful on a hot dog can trigger bloating, gas and cramping in a sensitive gut even though cucumber on its own is gentle. The vinegar brine and small amount of added sweetener add a little excess fructose on top.
Watch for
- High in fructans (grade D) from the diced onion, the main reason a low FODMAP diet flags relish
- High overall FODMAP load once you add the vinegar brine and sweetener, so a tablespoon goes further than you think
- Moderate excess fructose from the added sugar, worth noting if fructose malabsorption is your issue
