Low FODMAP
Dandelion Greens
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Dandelion greens offer a bold, bitter flavor and tender leaves that support liver function and digestive regularity. They contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably within standard serving parameters. These wild greens concentrate potassium, iron, and antioxidants that support cellular health and detoxification. Dandelion greens serve as a nutrient-dense, low-FODMAP addition to sautés, teas, and salads.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Blanch dandelion greens briefly in boiling water to reduce bitterness before sautéing with olive oil. Harvest young leaves early in the growing season for a milder, more palatable texture. Combine bitter greens with sweeter low-FODMAP vegetables like carrots to balance overall flavor profiles. Store freshly picked leaves in breathable containers in the refrigerator to prevent rapid wilting and nutrient degradation.
