Dunkin' Avocado Spread
Dunkin's avocado spread is high in histamine, from both the avocado and the lemon juice in it.
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 simple spread of mashed avocado with lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper.
-
Avocado — avocado is a classic histamine liberator, so it runs high on its own and is the main reason for this verdict.
-
Lemon juice — citrus is another liberator, so the lemon stacked with the avocado keeps this spread firmly on the high side.
A plainer topping does the job of adding creaminess without the two liberators here.
