Moderate FODMAP
Chili Paste
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Chili paste blends crushed peppers, salt, vinegar, and sometimes garlic into a smooth and versatile spread. Pure chili extracts contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and remain well tolerated in moderate portions. Commercial preparations frequently add onion powder, garlic extract, or sugar to mellow intensity and extend shelf life. Those following strict low-FODMAP protocols should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into recipes. Selecting varieties with transparent labeling ensures predictable digestive outcomes.
