Knorr Rice Sides

High histamine

This rice side is high in histamine, mainly from the cheddar and yeast extract in the mix.

Dairy

It is rice with a savory powder built on whey, cheddar, yeast extract, onion, and garlic.

  • Cheddar and yeast extract — cheddar is an aged cheese where histamine builds up, and yeast extract is a concentrated high-histamine flavoring, so each pushes the box up on its own.

  • Onion and garlic powder — these sit at moderate, adding to the picture, while the rice itself is milder.

The cheddar and yeast extract are part of the seasoning, so a simpler rice is the way to go lower.
