What to know about artichoke heart
The artichoke heart is the tender centre of the globe artichoke, and it is the most fructan-dense part of one of the highest-fructan vegetables there is. Its fibre is largely inulin, a fructan that ferments fast, so canned, jarred and marinated hearts rate very high FODMAP and commonly cause bloating and gas even in the small amounts scattered over a pizza or salad. The upside is that, unlike the whole artichoke, the heart is clean on salicylates and oxalate, so the trigger here is purely the FODMAP load.
Watch for
- Very high in fructans (inulin), even higher than the whole artichoke, so the hearts are a strong FODMAP trigger for bloating, gas and cramping
- Marinating, canning or draining does not remove the fructans, which are water-soluble and stay in the heart itself
- Rated poorly for SIBO, since the inulin ferments readily in the gut
- Clean on salicylates, oxalate and histamine, so a reaction here is a FODMAP one rather than a chemical sensitivity
