Hemp seeds
Hemp seeds are unfermented and minimally processed, making them a low-histamine seed option.
Hemp seeds don't go through fermentation, aging, or any process known to build up histamine.
-
Naturally low — plain, hulled hemp seeds (sometimes called hemp hearts) are not associated with histamine content or histamine release in the body
-
Processing matters — flavored hemp products or those with added preservatives may introduce higher-histamine ingredients, so plain is generally the safer bet
Plain hemp seeds work well as a topping or addition to meals without adding histamine complexity.
