    Strawberry FODMAP Chart

    Serving FODMAP Status
    Up to 10 medium (150 g) ✅ Low FODMAP
    15+ strawberries ⚠️ Moderate fructose
    Whole punnet (250 g+) ❌ High fructose stack

    Why Strawberries Are Safe

    Unlike apples, pears, or watermelon, strawberries contain very low levels of excess fructose and no polyols. That makes them a top-tier elimination-phase fruit (Monash data).

    Fresh vs. Frozen vs. Dried

    • Fresh: 10 medium — safe.
    • Frozen: Same serving rules apply.
    • Dried strawberries: High FODMAP even in small amounts due to concentrated fructose.
    • Strawberry jam: Check label — most contain high-fructose corn syrup or honey.

    Stacking Warning

    Avoid pairing strawberries with other fructose fruits (mango, cherries) in the same meal. See our FODMAP Stacking Guide for details.
