Histamine Tracker
Chanterelles
Chanterelle mushrooms are generally considered low in histamine, unlike some other mushroom varieties that are more commonly flagged.
Chanterelles don't appear to contain significant histamine and aren't widely reported as problematic in histamine intolerance literature.
-
Freshness is especially important with mushrooms — all mushrooms can accumulate histamine and other biogenic amines as they age or sit at room temperature, so fresh chanterelles are preferable to ones that have been stored for a while
-
Compared to other mushrooms — chanterelles tend to be better tolerated than dried or canned mushrooms, which have had more time for histamine to build up
Buying them fresh and cooking them promptly is the best approach.
