Maple syrup
Pure maple syrup is low in histamine with no known histamine-releasing or blocking properties.
Maple syrup is simply concentrated tree sap — no fermentation, no aging, no histamine-relevant processing.
-
Why it's generally fine — it contains sugars and trace minerals, but nothing that typically triggers histamine release or blocks the enzymes that break histamine down
-
Watch the label — pure maple syrup is the low-risk choice; flavored or blended syrups may contain additives that are less well tolerated
Sticking to pure, single-ingredient maple syrup keeps the risk profile simple.
