Intolerances
- FODMAPsModerate
this vegetable is FODMAP mainly from fructans and is dose-dependent, so a small serving is often low FODMAP. Cooking doesn't remove the fructans, so keeping the portion small is the key to staying low FODMAP.
- FructoseModerate
this vegetable contains fructose and fructans that can trigger symptoms in fructose malabsorption, but it is dose-dependent, so a small portion is often tolerated. Eating it with a glucose source improves fructose absorption.
