Moderate FODMAP
Pomegranate Glaze
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Pomegranate glaze reduces pomegranate juice, sugar, and sometimes vinegar to create a glossy coating. Pomegranate contains moderate fructose and polyols that concentrate significantly during simmering. Commercial preparations occasionally add wheat thickeners or high-fructose corn syrup to stabilize consistency and extend shelf life. Those managing ITS should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into recipes. Diluting with broth helps lower sugar density and prevent overwhelming the digestive tract.

Simmer fresh pomegranate juice with brown rice syrup and a splash of rice vinegar until slightly thickened. Avoid commercial bottles that list high-fructose corn syrup near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Brush lightly over roasted proteins during the final cooking stages to prevent scorching and preserve bright tartness.
