Apple strudel
The spices and dairy filling are commonly reported concerns for histamine-sensitive people, making this a moderate dish.
A few ingredients here are worth watching for histamine sensitivity.
-
Cinnamon — cinnamon appears on a number of histamine intolerance lists as a potential liberator, though the evidence is less established than for classic liberators like citrus or strawberries; many sensitive people report reacting to it in spiced baked goods
-
Dairy in the filling — many people with histamine sensitivity also report difficulty with dairy; this is a well-noted clinical observation, though the specific mechanism is not clearly established
Fresher, homemade versions with minimal spice tend to be better tolerated than heavily spiced ones.
