Collard Greens

Low FODMAP

Tested serving

  • Any typical portion Low

Collard greens are Low FODMAP at any typical portion, a hearty leafy green.

  • No FODMAP group reaches a meaningful level in collard greens, so they are low at any typical portion.
  • What changes the picture is the cooking, so watch for garlic and onion added to the pan.

Sauté them in garlic-infused oil with the green tops of spring onions to keep the flavor big.
