Antelope
Fresh antelope meat is naturally low in histamine, much like other fresh game, as long as it's eaten soon after preparation.
Like most fresh, unprocessed meats, antelope starts out low in histamine — the key variable is how it's handled after the hunt or purchase.
-
Freshness is everything — histamine builds up in meat as it sits, especially at room temperature; the longer between slaughter and eating, the higher the histamine level climbs
-
Compared to processed meats — fresh antelope is far better tolerated than cured, smoked, or aged game products, where histamine accumulation is built into the process
Cooking and eating it fresh, or freezing promptly, helps keep histamine levels low.
