Are Artichokes Low FODMAP?

Artichokes are a unique vegetable containing a carbohydrate type known as fructans, which are high in FODMAPs. As a result, they are typically restricted on a Low FODMAP diet. However, it's essential to note that the FODMAP content varies depending on the part of the artichoke and the serving size.

The Monash University, a trusted resource for FODMAP information, provides guidance on suitable serving sizes for various foods. According to the app, a small serving of canned artichoke hearts (approximately 1/3 cup) is considered Low FODMAP and can be enjoyed by individuals following a Low FODMAP diet.

When preparing Low FODMAP Spinach Artichoke Dip, it's crucial to use canned or jarred artichoke hearts packed in brine versus packed in oil, as the latter may contain higher levels of FODMAPs due to added ingredients.  

Serving Suggestions

To serve spinach artichoke dip, consider presenting it in a warm dish or bread bowl, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of garlic-infused oil for added flavor. Pair the dip with an assortment of dippers to offer various ways to enjoy the dip. Ideal options include gluten-free crackers, rice cakes, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and sourdough bread cubes, providing a variety of textures and flavors to complement the creamy dip. Arrange the dippers around the dip bowl for easy access and a fun presentation. Additionally, consider serving the dip alongside other Low FODMAP-friendly appetizers on a charcuterie board, such as olives, roasted pecan nuts, or cheese cubes to offer a diverse selection for guests to enjoy.
