Description

Bold, concentrated espresso flavor with roasty bitterness and subtle sweet notes; a glossy, hard-coated exterior gives an immediate crunch and a firm, brittle center. Commonly eaten as a quick caffeinated snack, used to top desserts or baked goods, and praised for intensity though some reviewers occasionally call it overly bitter.

What is a Low FODMAP diet?

A Low FODMAP diet limits foods high in certain short-chain carbohydrates (FODMAPs) that can be poorly absorbed in the gut. These include specific sugars found in foods like onions, garlic, beans, apples, and wheat. It's commonly followed by people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive sensitivities to reduce bloating, gas, and discomfort. The diet typically involves an elimination phase, followed by gradual reintroduction to identify personal triggers. When followed carefully, often with a dietitian's guidance, a Low FODMAP diet can help manage symptoms while maintaining a balanced and varied intake of nutrients.
