What is Peach?

Peaches are a type of stone fruit that are popular for their juicy and sweet flavor. They belong to the genus Prunus and are closely related to nectarines. Peaches are typically round with a fuzzy skin and a single large pit. They are rich in vitamins A and C, making them a nutritious choice. However, they are also known to be high in FODMAPs, which can cause digestive discomfort for some individuals.

Why People Avoid Peach

People following a low-FODMAP diet often avoid peaches because they contain high levels of sorbitol, a type of sugar alcohol that can cause digestive issues. Additionally, certain varieties like clingstone peaches are high in mannitol, while white peaches are high in fructans, both of which are also FODMAPs. These sugars can lead to symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other FODMAP sensitivities.
