Is Spinach Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.

Safe serving

75 g raw per serve

FODMAP group responsible

  • Fructans — Oligosaccharides. Wheat, onion, garlic. The most common trigger and the hardest to avoid.

Why

Baby spinach is low FODMAP at 75 g. The practical difficulty is that it wilts to almost nothing, so a safe portion looks like a trivial amount on the plate. Weigh it raw.
