Adzuki beans
Fresh or well-cooked adzuki beans are low in histamine and generally well tolerated.
Adzuki beans don't contain significant histamine and aren't known to trigger its release.
-
Freshness matters — like most legumes, adzuki beans are best eaten freshly cooked; leftover cooked beans can accumulate histamine if stored too long
-
Canned versions — rinsing canned adzuki beans well may help reduce any compounds from the brine or preservation process
Freshly cooked from dried is typically the most well-tolerated option.
