Dandelion and the Low FODMAP Diet
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a common flowering plant widely used in traditional medicine and culinary applications. The leaves, roots, and flowers are all edible and are commonly used to make tea or as a salad ingredient. Dandelion is known for its diuretic properties and potential health benefits, including liver support and digestive aid. However, when dandelion is used to make moderate to strong tea, it becomes high in FODMAPs, particularly due to its fructan content, which can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
