Hemp drink

Low histamine

Hemp-based drinks are minimally processed and not fermented, making them a generally low-histamine dairy alternative.

Hemp drinks are made from hemp seeds and water, with no fermentation involved — which is why they tend to sit comfortably in the low-histamine category.

  • Hemp seeds — not known to contain significant histamine or to trigger histamine release, making them one of the more neutral plant-based options

  • Additives to watch — some commercial hemp drinks include flavourings or fortifiers, so checking the ingredient list is worthwhile if you're particularly sensitive

Plain, unsweetened versions with minimal additives are typically the safest bet.
