Is kale low FODMAP?
Yes, kale is low FODMAP.
In the Monash University FODMAP app, 75 grams or 1/2 cup of kale is classified as a safe low FODMAP portion.
In addition, it is stated that kale only contains an average amount of galactans at servings of 222 grams or higher.
This means that you can probably eat a bit more than 75 grams or 1/2 cup per serving, as long as you stay below 222 grams.
Servings are always per meal on the low FODMAP diet. Monash University states that they count 3 to 4 hours between meals.
So if you eat some kale at your lunch at noon and then want to include some kale again in your dinner at 6 p.m. that is no problem.
