What to know about pomegranate
Pomegranate arils are one of the more anti-inflammatory fruits you can eat, rich in polyphenols, yet they are high FODMAP because of excess fructose. That is the catch: the same jewel-like seeds that are so good for you can bloat or loosen a sensitive gut once you get past a small handful. They also carry a moderate salicylate load, so a big bowl is not a free pass for everyone.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose, which is the main reason pomegranate reads as high FODMAP and can trigger bloating, gas or diarrhea in larger portions
- Moderate salicylate content, worth noting if you already react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- Strongly anti-inflammatory and low in histamine, so the problem is almost always the fructose load rather than the fruit itself
