Sensitivity notes
Why fructans food checker matters
Fructans are chains of fructose molecules found in wheat, onions, garlic, and many other foods. They're a type of FODMAP that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals because they're not well absorbed in the small intestine.
- Garlic-infused oil is low-FODMAP since fructans don't dissolve in oil
- Green parts of leeks and scallions are lower in fructans
- Sourdough bread may be better tolerated than regular wheat bread
- Spelt and ancient grains still contain fructans despite marketing claims
- Portion size matters - small amounts may be tolerable

What to know about breadnut seeds
Breadnut seeds are the large starchy seeds of Artocarpus camansi, boiled or roasted and eaten like chestnuts across the Caribbean, the Philippines and the Pacific. On the chemical triggers they are quiet: graded clean on histamine, histamine liberation, tyramine, gluten, lactose, sulfites and glutamates. The two things worth knowing are that the raw seed carries trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinins (graded C on lectins) which cooking destroys, and that nobody has ever lab-tested this seed for FODMAPs, so if you are asking whether breadnut seeds are low FODMAP the honest answer is that it is unrated and you have to test your own portion.
Watch for
- Raw seeds are not food.They carry trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinins (lectins), and processing studies show boiling eliminates both and gives the most digestible seed. The C lectin grade describes the raw seed, not the boiled one.
- FODMAP content is unrated, not low.This seed has never gone through Monash testing, and it is graded C for fermentation potential, so a big bowl of starchy seeds is a plausible bloating trigger even though no single FODMAP is flagged.
- Salicylate, oxalate and nickel are all unrated here too, so treat a reaction as unexplained rather than ruled out, and log the portion you ate.
- Undercooking is the usual culprit.Seeds boiled briefly and finished on a grill can still be firm in the middle, which is where the antinutrients survive.
