Low FODMAP
Sorrel
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Sorrel delivers a sharp, lemony tang and tender, arrow-shaped leaves that brighten soups, salads, and sauces. It contains negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digests comfortably without producing intestinal gas. This herbaceous green concentrates vitamin C, iron, and antioxidants that support immune function and cellular health. Sorrel serves as a distinctive, low-FODMAP ingredient for elevating flavor profiles in spring and summer cuisine.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Harvest young sorrel leaves for a milder flavor profile and cook gently to preserve vibrant color and delicate texture. Blend sorrel into purees with low-FODMAP broth for a tart, nutrient-dense soup base that pairs beautifully with potatoes. Store fresh sorrel wrapped in damp paper towels inside sealed containers to extend freshness and prevent wilting. Combine sorrel with soft herbs like basil and tarragon to balance overall flavor intensity in dressings.
