What to know about honeycrisp apple

Honeycrisp was bred to be intensely sweet, and that sweetness is largely excess fructose, which puts it at the very top of the FODMAP scale for apples. Layered on top is sorbitol, the same polyol found across apples, so a single Honeycrisp delivers a fructose-plus-polyol double hit that ferments hard and is rough on SIBO. If plain apple bothers you, the sweetest cultivars like this one tend to bother you most.

Watch for

  • Top-tier excess fructose, higher than a generic apple, because the flavor that makes Honeycrisp so sweet is mostly free fructose
  • High in sorbitol as well, so fructose and polyol combine for strong fermentation, gas and bloating
  • Poorly tolerated in SIBO, where the extra fermentable sugar feeds bacterial overgrowth
  • A small amount of fructan adds to the load, though fructose and sorbitol are the headline
