What to know about green apple
Green apples such as Granny Smith taste sharp and less sweet, so people assume they are the gentle choice, but on FODMAPs they are anything but. They are high in excess fructose and in sorbitol, the same two sugars that make any apple a top FODMAP trigger, which is why a whole green apple often brings on bloating, wind and cramps in a sensitive gut.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose, with more fructose than glucose, which many people absorb only partially
- High in sorbitol, a sugar alcohol that ferments and pulls water into the gut, stacking on top of the fructose
- Being tart and less sweet does not make it lower FODMAP; the fermentable sugars are still there, so it is a poor pick for a sensitive gut or for SIBO
- Carries a little nickel and is mildly histamine-liberating, minor next to the FODMAP load but worth a note for very sensitive people
