Fregola
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Fregola is a Sardinian toasted pasta resembling couscous but crafted from semolina. It delivers moderate fructan levels that require careful portion monitoring during sensitive periods. The toasting process enhances nutty flavor without reducing fructan compounds significantly. Cooking in measured broth ensures even hydration while preventing clumping during preparation. Pairing with vegetable-heavy sauces balances meal composition without overwhelming digestion.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Toasting semolina preserves fructan structures while intensifying flavor that sometimes masks rapid overconsumption. Combining fregola with rice grains reduces overall wheat concentration while maintaining satisfying textures. Cooking until plump preserves starch integrity that some find easier to digest during recovery phases. Freezing cooked portions in single servings prevents texture degradation while maintaining precise serving sizes.
