Canned chickpeas (rinsed)

Rating: depends on portion · Trigger subgroup: GOS

105 g

At a 105 g portion: green light

Lights per subgroup

  • Fructans 0.07 g · green light
  • GOS 0.2 g · green light
  • Excess fructose 0 g · green light
  • Lactose 0 g · green light
  • Sorbitol 0.05 g · green light
  • Mannitol 0 g · green light

fructans and GOS are evaluated together (oligosaccharide sum) · sorbitol and mannitol are evaluated individually and combined — the worse result wins

Green boundaries come from the scientific sources; the amber (1–2× the cutoff) and red (>2×) bands are an app estimate.
