Millet
Millet is a gluten-free ancient grain with no significant histamine activity — a reliably gentle option.
Millet is a small, naturally gluten-free seed-grain that has been a dietary staple for centuries and doesn't have any well-established connection to histamine issues.
-
Not fermented or aged — millet is simply harvested, dried, and processed, so there's no step in its production that would cause histamine to build up
-
Versatile and low-risk — whether eaten as whole grains, puffed, or ground into flour, millet tends to stay in the low-histamine category across its various forms
It's often a good grain to lean on when looking for variety in a histamine-conscious diet.
