Good to know
Green beans are low FODMAP, unlike dried beans such as kidney beans or chickpeas. They are the young pods rather than the mature seeds, which is why they behave so differently.
They are an easy side for almost any meal, steamed, roasted or stir-fried with ginger and soy sauce.

- Low FODMAP ratings apply to typical servings. Several low FODMAP foods in one meal can add up, an effect called FODMAP stacking.
