Low FODMAP
Scallions
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Scallions deliver a fresh, mild onion flavor and crisp green tops that enhance garnishes, dressings, and stir-fries safely. The green portions contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably within standard serving limits. Using only the upper sections avoids concentrated fructans that reside in the white bulb base. Scallion tops serve as an excellent low-FODMAP aromatic alternative for elevating flavor without triggering symptoms.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Trim scallions at the point where green transitions to pale, discarding the lower section completely to prevent exposure. Add chopped scallion greens during the final minute of cooking to preserve vibrant color and delicate flavor intensity. Store trimmed scallion stalks in a glass of water in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent drying. Substitute scallion greens for chives or flat-leaf parsley in recipes requiring mild herbal notes.
