Low FODMAP
Tomatillos
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Tomatillos deliver a bright, tart flavor and a firm, lantern-encased fruit that forms the foundation of traditional salsas and sauces. They contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably without producing intestinal gas. This Mexican staple provides excellent vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants that support immune function and metabolic balance. Tomatillos remain a versatile, low-FODMAP ingredient for blending into sauces, roasting, and pickling.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Remove papery husks completely and rinse sticky exterior thoroughly before roasting or blending into fresh preparations. Broil tomatillos until skins blister and flesh softens to develop natural sweetness and deepen sauce flavor. Combine roasted tomatillos with cilantro, jalapenos, and lime juice for a quick, symptom-safe salsa verde. Store fresh tomatillos in paper bags in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and prevent rapid ripening.
