Spring Onions and the low FODMAP diet
Spring onions deliver a mild, fresh onion flavor and crisp green tops that enhance garnishes, salads, and stir-fries safely. The green portions contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably within standard serving limits. Using only the upper sections avoids concentrated fructans that reside in the developing bulb base. Spring onion tops serve as an excellent low-FODMAP aromatic alternative for elevating flavor without triggering symptoms.

Group information helps organize reintroduction challenges and possible stacking.
What can change the result?
Trim spring onions at the transition point where green meets pale, discarding the lower section completely to prevent FODMAP exposure. Add chopped spring onion greens during the final stages of cooking to preserve vibrant color and delicate flavor intensity. Store trimmed stalks submerged in water in the refrigerator to maintain hydration and extend crispness for several days. Substitute spring onion greens for chives or flat-leaf parsley in recipes requiring mild herbal notes.
