Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores broccoli at a serving of 3/4 cup florets (75 g); at about 2 3/4 cups florets (279 g) and above it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
Based on published FODMAP research and reviewed reference data. Informational only — not medical advice. Tolerance is individual; verify with a dietitian during the elimination phase.
How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Excess Fructose
Florets are the forgiving part of the plant — trim the stalk away and the low band stretches far above the standard serve.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
