The useful answer

Sofrito and the low FODMAP diet

Sofrito blends tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic into a concentrated aromatic base for cooking. Onions and garlic contribute highly concentrated fructans that remain problematic even after prolonged simmering. Commercial jars often add wheat thickeners, sugar, or high-fructose stabilizers to extend shelf life. Those managing ITS should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into recipes. Strict avoidance or using low-FODMAP alternatives ensures safer consumption.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Blend diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and celery with olive oil and herbs to create a fragrant base that eliminates allium triggers. Avoid commercial jars that list onion or garlic powder near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Freeze in portioned containers and thaw as needed to preserve fresh vegetable flavor and prevent spoilage.
