Palmier
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Palmiers feature thin puff pastry brushed with sugar and baked until crisp and caramelized. The wheat puff pastry introduces fructans that remain intact through baking. The sugar glaze stays low in FODMAPs, leaving the grain component as the primary trigger. Careful portion sizing allows most sensitive individuals to enjoy a few pastries safely. Commercial varieties sometimes add butter or fillings that increase lactose exposure.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The fructan load in palmiers comes directly from the laminated wheat dough used during baking. You can safely lower the impact by choosing certified low-FODMAP puff pastry and avoiding heavy dairy glazes. Always verify commercial packs do not contain added high-fructose syrups or polyol sweeteners. Store in airtight containers to maintain crispness and prevent moisture softening.
