Is Jimmy John's Spinach Tortilla High in Histamine?

Jimmy John's Spinach Tortilla

High histamine

This spinach tortilla is high because spinach is a classic histamine liberator.

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.

Gluten

A green tortilla of wheat flour, malted barley flour, water, oils, and spinach.

Spinach — spinach is a well-known histamine liberator, and its presence in the tortilla is what pushes this one to high.
The flour base — the wheat flour, malted barley flour, and soybean oil each land moderate, so the wrap would still be middling even without the spinach, but the spinach is what sets the high rating.

For a milder wrap on the same menu, the plain flour wrap skips the spinach entirely.
