Are spring onions low FODMAP?

High

Only in small amounts. Spring onions are low FODMAP up to 32 g (⅓ cup), less than a usual serving. At 44 g (½ cup) they are moderate in fructans and excess fructose. This is for raw spring onion, white bulb only; other forms are below.

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.
