Coriander Pesto and the low FODMAP diet
Coriander pesto blends cilantro leaves, oil, nuts, and sometimes dairy into a herbaceous sauce. Fresh coriander and olive oil contain zero fermentable carbohydrates and pair safely with low-FODMAP ingredients. Traditional recipes rely on walnuts or almonds, which contribute galacto-oligosaccharides that may cause bloating at higher doses. Garlic is frequently added to enhance flavor and often serves as the primary FODMAP trigger in commercial blends. Modifying the nut type and removing garlic solids ensures safer consumption.

What can change the result?
Swap walnuts for macadamia nuts to significantly reduce galacto-oligosaccharide content while preserving rich texture. Use garlic-infused oil with the solids removed to replicate traditional flavor without introducing water-soluble triggers. Blend only small batches and store under a thin oil layer in the refrigerator to prevent oxidation and maintain vibrant color.
