In reply to Melissa. Hi there, Thank you. That was a typo. Info was conflated with FODMAP Friendly, which does has a 75 g serving size and a max of 750 g. You might be interested to know that the booklet that Monash still sells to the public and to dietitians shows red bell peppers as containing no FODMAP content. This is because, as we have explained in several places on the site, that the lab tests are Only indicative of what was tested at the time and the peppers you buy today, next month or 6 months from now will be different yet again. Monash knows the variability of produce and it is something that we try to cover in depth.

As of October 15, 2022, the article says:
“Initial lab tests by Monash University stated that they showed no detectable FODMAPs. Subsequent lab tests by Monash showed low FODMAP servings of ½ cup listed as 75 g.”
The Monash FODMAP app currently shows a 75 g serving of red bell pepper as high FODMAP (red light), and the low FODMAP serving size is listed as 43 g. Perhaps your article could be updated to reflect this, as you have already provided equivalent information for orange and yellow bell peppers. Thank you.

In reply to Michelle. Sounds delicious. We do not know the FODMAP content of ripe Hatch peppers, so treat it as an unknown, from a digestive perspective.

I have a pepper plant, and my friend who gave me the plant says it’s a hatch pepper. I let it ripen so it’s red. I plan on roasting it and using it in a pan of your chicken enchiladas next weekend, instead of the Serranos in the recipe. Will see how it goes!
