Celery root

Low histamine

Celery root (celeriac) is low in histamine with no known histamine-releasing or DAO-blocking effects.

Celeriac is the root of a celery variety and shares celery's generally low-histamine profile.

  • Cooked or raw — whether roasted, mashed, or grated raw into salads, celery root stays in the low-risk category across common uses

  • Same allergy note as celery — like celery stalks, celeriac is a known allergen for some people, but that's separate from histamine sensitivity

For histamine management, it's a solid, underused vegetable worth having in rotation.
