Goose egg
Goose eggs are low in histamine like chicken eggs — just a larger portion, so the egg white's liberator effect applies to more white per egg.
Goose eggs behave similarly to chicken eggs from a histamine standpoint, but they're significantly larger — meaning more egg white per serving.
-
Same concern, larger portion — egg whites are widely listed as histamine liberators, meaning they may prompt the body to release its own stored histamine; goose eggs have proportionally more white than chicken eggs, so the effect may be amplified
-
Cooking matters just as much — fully cooking the white until it's completely set appears to reduce the histamine-liberating potential, regardless of the egg type
If you enjoy goose eggs, making sure the whites are fully cooked through is the most practical consideration.
