Almond butter
Almonds are a moderate histamine concern, and commercial versions with additives may add extra variables worth considering.
Almond butter carries the same considerations as whole almonds, sometimes with additional factors from processing.
-
Quantity factor — a few tablespoons of almond butter represents a larger quantity of almonds than you might eat whole, which can increase the overall load on your system
-
Added ingredients — commercial versions often include salt, oils, or sugar; some contain preservatives that may add to sensitivity for certain people
Plain, single-ingredient almond butter gives you the most straightforward picture of how almonds sit with you.
