Dough sheets

Moderate histamine

Plain dough sheets are moderate concern mainly because of yeast or egg content, depending on the variety.

Dough sheets — used for lasagna, dumplings, or pastries — vary in histamine concern based on whether they're yeasted or egg-based.

  • Yeasted versions — any dough sheet made with yeast will have some fermentation-related histamine, especially if the dough was rested or slow-risen

  • Egg-based versions — fresh pasta-style dough sheets made with eggs are generally lower concern than yeasted ones, though eggs are a mild variable for some sensitive individuals

Plain, freshly made dough sheets with simple ingredients tend to sit on the lower end of the moderate range.
