Low FODMAP
Yuzu Kosho
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Yuzu kosho is a potent Japanese paste crafted from fermented yuzu citrus peel, spicy chilies, and sea salt. The unique combination delivers an intensely aromatic and fiery flavor that requires only a tiny amount to transform a dish. Citrus peels and fresh chilies are naturally devoid of fermentable carbohydrates, keeping the paste well within safe dietary boundaries. Traditional fermentation with salt preserves the ingredients without introducing high FODMAP additives or sugars. This makes it an excellent flavor booster for those seeking robust taste without digestive compromise.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Always inspect artisanal or homemade versions to ensure no whole shallots or garlic were blended during the traditional fermentation phase. The extreme concentration means it pairs beautifully with clear broths, grilled seafood, and roasted vegetables when used sparingly. Keep the jar tightly sealed and refrigerated to maintain the volatile citrus oils and prevent the salt from absorbing ambient moisture. Stir gently with a clean utensil each time to preserve the paste’s texture and distribute the chili heat evenly.
