Histamine Tracker
Macadamia oil
A stable, mild-flavored nut oil with no known histamine content or histamine-triggering properties.
Macadamia oil is cold-pressed from macadamia nuts and is one of the more stable plant oils available, thanks to its high monounsaturated fat content.
-
Good shelf stability — its high oleic acid content (similar to olive oil) means macadamia oil resists going rancid much better than seed oils high in polyunsaturated fats
-
Nut oil, but low risk — while some nut-based foods carry histamine concerns, plain macadamia oil doesn't have any established connection to histamine reactions
Its stability and mild flavor make it a practical option for both cooking and dressings.
