Brown rice pasta

Low histamine

Brown rice pasta is a low-histamine alternative to wheat pasta with no known histamine-triggering properties.

Made from just brown rice flour and water, this pasta keeps things simple from a histamine perspective.

  • No fermentation, no aging — unlike some wheat pastas that may include additives or sauces, plain brown rice pasta has none of the processes that build up histamine

  • Watch the sauce — the pasta itself isn't the concern; tomato, wine-based, or fermented sauces paired with it are typically what raise the histamine load of a meal

Pairing it with fresh, simple toppings keeps the whole dish easy to tolerate.
