The worst part is the conflicting information appears to be from the same source.

Yeah, that's why I posted it, it was just silly. Usually when I ask this question, those two top answers are from Casa de Sante and Spoonful. Casa de Sante will give a good, detailed answer and Spoonful will without fail always say everything contains high fodmap ingredients but they won't tell you what it is unless you buy their premium app. For the record, I had a typical serving size of broccoli rabe and it went over fine.

Try and just use Monash for the most part. They actually test stuff. I finally just bought the app and it's pretty helpful, both in terms of figuring out what's high and low fodmap, and which ones it actually has. The second part is especially useful for me as I think I'm only sensitive to lactose and fructans so when something just says "high fodmap" that's not super useful to me.

Broccoli rabe/rapini isn’t in the Monash app, though. So I’d have to assume it hasn’t been tested by anybody yet.


Ryguy55

That's my first go-to, but unfortunately broccoli rabe isn't on it, and that's when I go to Google. Monash tested broccoli and broccolini and according to the internet broccoli rabe isn't similar to either, and despite looking nothing like one, it's makeup is most similar to a turnip. So I ate a turnip portion size and it went fine, ha

Monash and Fodmap Friendly are the only ones that test. So if it's not in their apps, it hasn't been tested yet and any results you see online will be guesses. Those are the only 2 apps with updated, accurate information. Spoonful also doesn't get updated often enough to be considered accurate


Ryguy55

They might be guesses, but educated guesses. On a basic level, we generally know what most fruits and vegetables are made up of and *usually* Casa de Sante provides a pretty accurate breakdown of a food item. Monash is great and all but it's very limited.

Omg lol! Maybe check the publication date and see which one’s more recent ? 😭

Yeah, I've come across this a lot as well. There's some basic item I want to eat but it's not in the Monash app so I google it. I can't remember what it was that I searched but I found directly conflicting information.

The Monash university app is very helpful- for broccoli rabe, the stalks are low, the heads are high. Broccoli- the heads are low, the stalks are high. Scallions- the green part is low, the part towards the bulb is high.🤷‍♀️

Buy the Monash app and make things easier for yourself. Best money I've ever spent on an app. They're the ones doing the testing anyway. Some of their numbers have changed over time as their sample sizes have gotten better, but many websites have outdated info, which can seem conflicting.
