What is Sultana?

Sultanas are small, sweet dried fruits made from seedless white grapes.

Sultanas are often used in baking, cooking, and as a snack due to their naturally sweet flavor.

Why People Avoid Sultana

People on a low FODMAP diet often avoid sultanas because they are high in fructose and sorbitol, which are types of FODMAPs that can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Consuming sultanas in large quantities may lead to bloating, gas, or other gastrointestinal symptoms in those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or FODMAP sensitivities.
