Beet juice (fermented)
Fermented beet juice is high in histamine because fermentation can produce histamine when certain bacterial strains with the right enzymes are present.
Fermentation is one of the main ways histamine gets into food and drink — and fermented beet juice is no exception.
-
Fermentation produces histamine — bacteria convert amino acids into histamine during the fermentation process, and the longer it ferments, the higher the levels can climb
-
Different from plain beet juice — fresh or pasteurized beet juice is a different story, but once fermented (like kvass-style beet drinks), the histamine content rises considerably
Unfermented beet juice is a much lower-histamine alternative if you enjoy the flavor.
