Culver's Mint Explosion Flavor of the Day
High in histamine, driven by the cocoa, chocolate, and soy in the mix-ins.
Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.
This is a mint frozen custard made from milk, cream, and egg yolk, loaded with chocolate cookie pieces and chocolate.
-
Cocoa processed with alkali and chocolate — cocoa and chocolate run high, and this dessert packs several chocolate mix-ins that set the level.
-
Soy and wheat — the soy sits high while the enriched wheat flour, gluten, and soybean oil land at moderate, all adding on top, with the fresh dairy custard as the milder part.
The plain mint custard underneath is the gentle piece, so the chocolate-heavy mix-ins are what push this up.
