Is Dried Lemon Low FODMAP?
AvoidDried lemon and many other dried fruits are higher in FODMAPs than their fresh fruit counterpart. The drying process concentrates fructose and can also create fructans.
Dried Lemon and the Low FODMAP Diet
Dried lemon is made by dehydrating lemon slices or zest, resulting in a product that retains the citrus's tart flavor while becoming more concentrated. This drying process intensifies the sugar content, particularly fructose, and can also lead to the formation of fructans. Dried lemon is commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine, desserts, teas, and spice blends to impart a strong, tangy flavor.
