Burdock Root (Frozen)
Vegetables · Vegetables
Frozen burdock root is low FODMAP at the small checked portion of 9 g. Monash shows 11 g as moderate and 75 g, about one-third of a cup, as high in fructans. A standard vegetable-sized helping therefore should not be assumed to match its green reference.

Breakdown for 0.33 cups
Is burdock root (frozen) low FODMAP?
Fructans are the only group that changes colour in the inspected burdock panels: green at 9 g, amber at 11 g and red at 75 g. Fructose, lactose, mannitol, sorbitol and GOS remain green. The app does not give a spoon or slice count for the two smaller weights.
Burdock Root (Frozen) and IBS: what to know
For a recipe that uses burdock as a small component, record the quantity allocated to your serving. The close green and amber weights make an estimated handful particularly unhelpful. A larger reference being red does not mean the root must be treated identically at every quantity.
Gut-friendly ways to eat burdock root (frozen)
Measure frozen burdock with a scale before preparing it as directed on the packet. If you want a dish with more vegetable volume, check the individual portions for peeled kohlrabi or white daikon instead of increasing burdock by eye. These are separate foods with separate profiles, so the complete recipe still needs its own ingredient check.
Frequently asked questions
Is a third of a cup of frozen burdock low FODMAP?
The checked one-third-cup reference is 75 g and high in fructans. The green amount is much smaller and is best measured by weight.
Can I count burdock slices instead of weighing them?
No slice count was provided for the green or moderate portion. Slice thickness and shape make a count an unreliable substitute for these small weights.
Does this apply to burdock tea or powder?
The inspected food is frozen burdock root. A brewed drink, dried powder or extract is outside this entry's verified preparation.
