Domino's Chorizo
Domino's chorizo is high in histamine because chorizo is a cured, seasoned pork.
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.
Chorizo brings a few things that push it up.
-
Cured seasoned pork — chorizo is a cured pork product made with vinegar and nitrite, and that curing is what carries the histamine high.
-
Vinegar and paprika add to it — the vinegar and paprika mixed in both run moderate, so even setting aside the pork this is not a mild topping.
For a lower-histamine pizza, a fresh topping is the better route.
