Is cauliflower low FODMAP?
FODMAP score

FODMAPs present
Low-FODMAP serving
3/4 cup (75 g)
Becomes high FODMAP at
well beyond 3/4 cup (75 g+)
Re-tested in May 2025: a 3/4-cup serve now sits low, and the group changed from mannitol to fructans, which only build in larger serves. Sensitive guts can still notice its fermentable fiber — a non-FODMAP effect — so build portions up gradually.
Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores cauliflower at a serving of 3/4 cup (75 g); at well beyond 3/4 cup (75 g+) 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.
