Is Leek Low FODMAP?
CautionSometimes. Leek bulbs are high FODMAP, while leek leaves are low to moderate based on serving size. We recommend avoiding foods with "leek" when the labels does not differentiate between the two.
Leek and the Low FODMAP Diet
Leeks are a member of the Allium family, which also includes onions, garlic, and shallots. They have a mild, sweet flavor and are used in a variety of dishes such as soups, stews, and salads. The plant consists of a bundle of leaf sheaths, sometimes mistakenly called a stem or stalk. While leeks are generally nutritious, containing vitamin K, vitamin C, and manganese, they also contain varying levels of FODMAPs depending on the part of the plant consumed.
