Low FODMAP
Green Onions
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Green onions feature vibrant green tops and a mild white base that deliver a fresh, onion-like aroma without intense heat. The green portions contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably within safe serving parameters. Using only the upper sections avoids concentrated fructans that reside in the bulb and lower stem. Green onions serve as an excellent low-FODMAP garnish for soups, salads, and grain bowls.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Discard the white and pale lower sections completely before slicing the vibrant green tops for garnishes. Add chopped green onion tops at the final stage of cooking to preserve their delicate flavor and bright color. Store trimmed stalks wrapped in damp paper towels inside sealed containers to extend freshness. Substitute green onion tops for chives in recipes requiring mild, fresh herbal notes.
