Jimmy John's Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
This oatmeal raisin cookie is high in histamine, driven mainly by the raisins.
Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.
This is a soft cookie made from oats, wheat flour, butter, eggs, molasses, spices, and raisins.
-
Raisins — dried fruit concentrates into a high-histamine ingredient, so the raisins set the level of the whole cookie.
-
Wheat flour and molasses — both land moderate and add to it, while the butter and eggs themselves are milder.
Since the raisins are baked right in, a different treat is the better route for a lower-histamine finish.
