Monk fruit
Monk fruit sweetener has no known histamine content or histamine-related activity — generally considered low risk.
Monk fruit is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener with no fermentation or aging involved in its production.
-
Why it tends to be fine — the sweet compounds (mogrosides) are simply extracted from the fruit; no process known to generate or liberate histamine is involved
-
Blend check — many monk fruit products are mixed with erythritol or other sweeteners; the monk fruit itself is low risk, but it's worth checking what else is in the blend
Pure monk fruit extract is one of the more straightforward sweetener options from a histamine perspective.
