Egg substitute
Most egg substitutes are primarily egg whites, which are commonly reported as histamine liberators in sensitive individuals.
Commercial egg substitutes are usually made mostly from egg whites — which means they carry the same considerations as egg white on its own.
-
Mostly egg white — products like liquid egg substitutes are predominantly white with little or no yolk, concentrating the component most associated with histamine concerns; egg whites are widely listed as histamine liberators, meaning they may prompt the body to release its own stored histamine
-
Additives vary by brand — some substitutes include other ingredients like flavoring, stabilizers, or dairy derivatives that may add their own considerations
Checking the ingredient list is worthwhile, since formulations vary quite a bit between brands.
