Chicken broth (fresh homemade)

Low histamine

Chicken broth made at home from fresh chicken and eaten the same day is low in histamine, unlike boxed or long-simmered stock.

Histamine in broth comes from bacteria working on the meat before and after cooking, so a quick broth made from fresh chicken and eaten right away stays low.

  • Fresh chicken, short simmer: start with chicken bought fresh, keep the simmer short rather than all day, and leave out bouillon cubes, yeast extract and store-bought stock

  • Cool it fast: histamine can build as broth sits warm or waits in the fridge, so sensitive people do best eating it the same day or freezing it as soon as it cools

Make a batch, portion it, and freeze what you won't use today so every bowl starts fresh.
