Is broccoli low FODMAP?
Yes. Broccoli is low FODMAP in a typical side portion, especially the heads. The stalks contain more FODMAPs, so large servings add up.
Broccoli is one of the more useful green vegetables on the low FODMAP diet. A typical side serving is low FODMAP, and Monash University has tested the heads and stalks separately.
Heads vs stalks
The heads (florets) are lower in FODMAPs than the stalks. If you want a bigger portion, stick mainly to the heads. Serving size matters, so check the Monash University FODMAP app for tested portions.
Broccoli is not cauliflower
The two look like cousins, but cauliflower is high in mannitol and broccoli is not. Broccolini (baby broccoli) has its own rating, so check the app for that too.
Cook it low FODMAP
Stir-fry with garlic-infused oil and soy sauce, or roast with olive oil and lemon. Pair with rice, potato or quinoa for an easy meal.
