Low FODMAP
Fennel Bulb
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Fennel bulb provides a crunchy, aromatic texture and a mild licorice flavor that transforms when cooked slowly. It contains minimal fermentable carbohydrates at standard portions and digests comfortably for most sensitive systems. This vegetable concentrates vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants that support immune function and metabolic balance. Fennel bulb serves as a unique, low-FODMAP ingredient for braises, gratins, and fresh salads.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Peel the outermost tough layer of the bulb before slicing thinly for maximum tenderness in raw applications. Braise fennel wedges gently in low-FODMAP broth until soft and translucent for a comforting meal component. Combine sliced bulb with citrus segments and olive oil for a refreshing, symptom-safe salad. Store whole bulbs wrapped loosely in plastic to prevent moisture loss and maintain crispness in the refrigerator.
