Almond milk
Plain, unsweetened almond milk is generally low in histamine — but added flavors or preservatives can change that.
Almond milk is made by blending almonds with water, and in its simple form it doesn't involve fermentation or aging.
-
Almonds themselves are sometimes flagged — whole almonds appear on some histamine sensitivity lists, though their status varies across sources; in the diluted, processed form of almond milk, most people tend to tolerate it well
-
Watch the label — versions with carrageenan, natural flavors, or preservatives may be harder to tolerate than plain unsweetened varieties
Sticking to short-ingredient-list versions tends to work better for people who are sensitive.
