What is Vegetables?
Vegetables are edible parts of plants that include leaves, stems, roots, and flowers. They are a vital part of a balanced diet, providing essential nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. However, for individuals following a low FODMAP diet, the FODMAP content of vegetables is an important consideration, as some vegetables can trigger symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
