Microgreens

Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.

Microgreens deliver concentrated flavor and tender textures harvested during the earliest growth stages of mature plants. They contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably without triggering intestinal symptoms. These miniature leaves provide potent antioxidants, vitamins, and enzymes that support cellular health and detoxification. Microgreens remain a versatile, low-FODMAP garnish for elevating nutrient density across all meals.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes

Rinse microgreens gently under cool water and spin dry before adding to finished dishes as a final garnish. Store opened containers in the refrigerator with ventilation to prevent moisture accumulation and rapid spoilage. Combine radish, sunflower, and pea microgreens to create visually striking, nutrient-dense salad toppings. Avoid heating microgreens extensively, as thermal degradation significantly reduces their beneficial compound profile.
