Intolerances
- OligosaccharidesHigh
- NickelHigh
- OxalatesHigh
legumes are moderately high in oxalates; soaking them well and cooking in plenty of water, then draining it, lowers the oxalate. Pairing them with a calcium source lowers oxalate absorption too.
- FODMAPsModerate
this is high in FODMAP from GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) and fructans. Canned and well-rinsed versions are lower in FODMAP, and a small portion is usually tolerated.
