What to know about green peas
Green peas taste like a mild spring vegetable, so it surprises most people that they are a high-FODMAP food and a notable nickel source. The fermentable fiber in peas is GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides), the same one that makes beans hard to digest, so even a half-cup can cause bloating, gas and cramping if you have IBS or a sensitive gut. Peas are also high in nickel, which matters if you have a systemic nickel allergy. A quarter-cup portion stays low FODMAP; the trouble starts once the serving grows.
Watch for
- High in GOS, so a normal serving can bloat a FODMAP-sensitive gut even though a small quarter-cup is fine
- High in nickel, a common trigger for systemic nickel allergy syndrome (dyshidrotic hand eczema, itchy flares)
- Very high in lectins when raw or undercooked, so cook peas fully before eating
- Moderate in salicylates, a minor consideration if you are salicylate-sensitive
