No onion, no garlic
Low-FODMAP no onion no garlic cooking
A low-FODMAP no onion no garlic cooking guide for rebuilding flavor with infused oil, herbs, acids, umami, sauces, and label checks.
Flavor stack without onion or garlic
Garlic and onion are common FODMAP triggers because they are rich in fructans. Removing them does not mean food has to be flat. Build flavor in layers: infused oil, herbs, acids, salt, heat, umami, and texture.
Infused oilGarlic-infused oil gives garlic aroma because FODMAPs are not oil-soluble. Check labels for actual garlic pieces.
Green alliumsChives and scallion greens bring onion-style lift without using the white bulb.
AcidLemon, lime, rice vinegar, red wine vinegar, and small amounts of balsamic can make simple meals taste finished.
UmamiTamari, hard cheese, tomatoes if tolerated, ginger, toasted sesame oil, and plain proteins add depth.
Herbs and spicesParsley, cilantro, basil, oregano, cumin, paprika, pepper, turmeric, and ginger are useful when blends avoid onion and garlic powders.
TextureToasted seeds, rice cakes, carrots, cucumber, potatoes, and crisp lettuce make simple plates less repetitive.
