Why do collard greens gives you gas than other foods?

Answer 1

The collected foods give off gases that can cause bloating. Gas is a natural byproduct of the body processing food from the body. Even when it seems excessive, it generally isn't. When first produced in the body, gas is an odorless vapor consisting of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, some methane and oxygen. The odor is made foul by the bacteria that inhabit the large intestine, since the small amounts of bacterial gas contain sulfer.

Some foods cause gas more than do other foods.

Foods containing carbohydrates likely cause gas. Sugars that cause gases are: fructose, lactose, sorbitol and raffinose. Changing your diet, to eliminate gas-causing foods is one way to reduce the gas response. Remember that people respond differently to different foods. Just because a food may give you gas does not mean it will give the next person gas.

Some gas producing foods are......

Beans

Vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, onions, artichokes, and asparagus

Fruits, such as pears, apples, and peaches

Whole grains, such as whole wheat and bran

Soft drinks and fruit drinks

Milk and milk products, such as cheese and ice cream, and packaged foods prepared with Lactose, such as bread, cereal, and salad dressing.

Answer 2

Vegetables belonging to the cabbage family include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, kale and collard greens. These foods, as well as dried beans, are gas producing because they contain a complex sugar known as raffinose. The human digestive tract does not have a particular type of enzyme, alpha galactosidase, required to metabolize this sugar. However, bacteria found in the digestive tract do possess alpha galactosidase. Bacterial metabolism of raffinose causes the release of gaseous byproducts that are then eliminated through flatulence.

Answer 3

Because the flora involved in the food procesing, release gas as a product of the chemical reactions used in the degradation of food.
