Cane sugar
Plain cane sugar has no histamine, doesn't trigger release, and doesn't block breakdown — generally well tolerated.
Refined cane sugar is one of the more neutral ingredients when it comes to histamine.
-
No known histamine activity — sugar contains no histamine and isn't recognized as a histamine liberator or DAO-blocking food
-
Minimal processing concerns — highly refined cane sugar is essentially pure sucrose, leaving little room for fermentation byproducts that could accumulate histamine
It's generally considered a safe base ingredient for histamine-conscious cooking and baking.
