Escarole
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Escarole offers broad, slightly ruffled leaves with a mild bitterness that softens beautifully when cooked. It contains minimal fermentable carbohydrates and digests comfortably within standard serving parameters. This leafy green provides excellent fiber, folate, and antioxidants that support overall wellness and digestion. Escarole serves as a hearty, low-FODMAP base for soups, sautés, and braised dishes.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Wash escarole thoroughly in multiple water baths to remove trapped soil and debris before preparation. Sauté chopped leaves with olive oil and garlic-infused low-FODMAP oil until wilted for a comforting side dish. Combine escarole with white beans (canned, rinsed) and lemon juice for a traditional Italian-inspired meal. Store fresh bunches upright in a glass of water to maintain hydration and crispness.
