Are red bell peppers low FODMAP?
High
Only in small amounts. Red bell peppers are low FODMAP up to 43 g (½ cup), less than a usual serving. At 59 g (¾ cup) they are moderate in excess fructose. This is for raw red bell pepper; other forms are below.

Each mark is a rated serving. Between two marks the higher rating applies; past the last one nothing is rated.
Every rated serving
| Amount | Rating | Not low in |
|---|---|---|
| 43 g (½ cup) | Low | All six groups low |
| 59 g (¾ cup) | Moderate |  Excess fructose |
| 75 g (¼ medium or 1 cup) | High | Excess fructose |
Low means every FODMAP group is under its per-serving cut-off. Moderate and high are the two steps above it. FODMAPs add up across a meal, so several low servings together can be too much.
Other forms
Ripeness, the part you eat and how it’s prepared can change the answer.
