Broccoli and Other Cruciferous Vegetables

Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and a number of other vegetables belong to the cruciferous vegetable family. These are extremely nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, and potassium.

They may, however, cause bloating in certain people because they also contain FODMAPs. These cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli, and cabbage contain raffinose, a sugar that isn't digested until bacteria in your gut ferment it. This results in gas production, which makes you feel bloated. Cruciferous vegetables may be simpler to digest if they have been cooked. The digestive system becomes stronger, healthier, and less prone to bloating when nutrient-rich, high-fiber foods are consumed on a regular basis. There are a variety of potential replacements, including sweet potatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, spinach, and lettuce.
