Dill
Fresh dill is a low-histamine herb with no known histamine-releasing or DAO-blocking properties.
Dill is generally considered one of the more friendly herbs for people sensitive to histamine.
-
Fresh vs. dried — fresh dill tends to be the safest bet; dried dill is still low-histamine but some people find concentrated dried herbs are harder to tolerate in large amounts
-
Common pairing caution — dill is often served with fish or pickles, both of which are higher in histamine, so the dish as a whole may matter more than the herb itself
Keeping dill fresh in the fridge and using it promptly helps preserve its mild profile.
