Histamine Tracker
Green split peas
Green split peas are low in histamine and well tolerated when freshly cooked.
Split peas are dried legumes with no fermentation involved, so histamine levels stay low.
-
Cooking fresh is ideal — like all cooked legumes, split peas are best eaten soon after cooking; histamine can slowly build in leftovers stored in the fridge
-
Compared to lentils — green split peas are similarly low-risk to red lentils, making both good options for soups and stews
Making a big batch and freezing portions right away is a practical way to keep things fresh.
