Histamine Tracker
Blackberries
Blackberries are considered low in histamine, but some people with sensitivities also react to their high tannin content.
Blackberries have a low histamine profile but aren't without nuance.
-
Low in direct histamine — blackberries don't contain significant histamine and aren't well-established as histamine liberators in the way strawberries are
-
Tannin sensitivity — like other deeply pigmented berries, blackberries are rich in tannins, and some people who react to high-tannin foods may notice this separately from a histamine response
Fresh, ripe blackberries in moderate amounts tend to be the most well-tolerated form.
