Cornmeal
A plain, minimally processed grain with no known histamine-releasing or blocking properties.
Cornmeal is a simple ground grain that doesn't accumulate histamine or interfere with your body's ability to break it down.
-
Processing level — plain cornmeal is minimally processed, which means there's no fermentation or aging that would build up histamine over time
-
Freshness still matters — like any grain product, keeping it stored properly and using it fresh helps it stay in good condition
It tends to be one of the more straightforward grains for people managing histamine sensitivity.
