Is Beetroot, canned Low FODMAP?
Beetroot, canned is moderate FODMAP — it can fit a low-FODMAP diet, but only up to 2 slices (45 g). Larger servings are likely to trigger symptoms.
Serving thresholds
| Serving | FODMAP level | Data quality |
|---|---|---|
| 2 slices (45 g) · canned | Low | Derived from composition |
| ½ cup (110 g) · canned | High | Derived from composition |
Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.

Where these numbers come from
- USDA food composition: USDA FoodData Central — composition database (public domain).
- CIQUAL food composition: Ciqual / ANSES — French food composition database (open data).
- Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.
Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
