10 Foods High in Histamine That Can Trigger Allergic Reactions

8. Avocado

Avocado contains 23 mg/kg of histamine. The histamine content of avocado is not risky unless you eat more than 2 kilos of avocados in one sitting which is nearly impossible. The health benefits of avocado still outweigh the possible effect of its histamine content. It has more potassium than bananas and loaded with monounsaturated fatty acids which are heart healthy.

9. Spinach

Spinach has a high histamine content amounting to 30-60 mg/kg. Despite of its histamine content, let us not forget that spinach is also a superfood loaded with nutrients. Leafy green vegetables like spinach are good for the hair, bone health and skin. Popeye wouldn’t eat it for nothing.
