Low FODMAP
Citron
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Citron features extremely thick pith and low juice content that results in minimal fermentable sugar exposure. The primary use centers on zest and candied preparation rather than fresh consumption. Small servings of the edible portion remain safely low for most digestive systems. The bitter compounds naturally limit portion size during consumption.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Citron pith contains minimal sugar but absorbs flavors from processing solutions during preparation. Rinse thoroughly if using commercially candied citron to remove excess surface syrups. Substitute fresh lemon or orange zest for lower-FODMAP baking alternatives. Store refrigerated to preserve volatile oils and prevent drying.
