Mt. Olive Baby Dills

High histamine

Mt. Olive Baby Dills are high in histamine because they're packed in a vinegar brine, with sodium benzoate adding a moderate note.

These are small cucumbers packed in a brine of water, vinegar, salt, garlic, and seasonings.

  • Vinegar: the brine is why these are rated high, since a plain vinegar without a named type is treated as one likely fermented from wine, cider, or malt.

  • Sodium benzoate: the preservative sits at moderate, while the cucumber itself is mild on its own.

It's the brine, not the vegetable, doing the work here.
