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

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for yellow passion fruit

Yellow passion fruit is the bigger, tarter, thicker-skinned form of Passiflora edulis, the one grown across Brazil, Ecuador and Peru mainly to be pressed into juice rather than eaten with a spoon. Its headline grade is a good one: low FODMAP (A), with fructans, GOS and polyols all clean and only excess fructose at a mild B. Everything else, histamine, liberation, salicylate, oxalate, nickel, tyramine and glutamates, sits in the mild B band. It is a rare tropical fruit that stays quiet for a sensitive gut, and the caveats are about what happens to it on the way to the bottle.

Watch for

Low FODMAP (A) with clean fructan, GOS and polyol grades. For an IBS-focused journal this is one of the safer tropical fruits, with only excess fructose at a mild B to watch across a large serving / Everything rated is mild rather than absent: histamine and liberation both B, salicylate, oxalate, nickel, tyramine and glutamates all B. It is quiet, not blank, so it can still be worth logging if you react to a lot of fruit / The yellow form is markedly more acidic than the purple, which is why it goes to juice. That sharpness is a reflux issue for some people rather than a food chemistry one / Almost all yellow passion fruit reaches consumers as juice, pulp or concentrate. Commercial pulp is frequently preserved and juices are often sweetened or blended, so sulfites and additives can be the real trigger in a glass that reads as pure fruit / Our data grades the purple passion fruit cleaner still, at A for histamine, liberation and SIBO where the yellow form sits at B. If histamine is what you are tracking, the purple form is the more conservative choice
