Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores edamame at a serving of 1 cup (90g) in pods; at 1.5 cups or more 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.
Fructans
Weights are for shelled beans — a bowl of pods yields roughly half its weight in beans; fructans rise as the beans mature, so young green pods sit lowest.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
