Mung bean vermicelli
A starch-based noodle made from mung beans that contains no significant histamine or known triggering compounds.
Mung bean vermicelli is made by extracting starch from mung beans and drying it — a process that doesn't encourage histamine buildup.
-
Starch, not protein — the histamine in aged or fermented foods often comes from protein breakdown; starch-based noodles sidestep that entirely
-
Cooking method matters — the noodles themselves are fine, but broths or sauces served with them (especially fermented or aged ones) can change the picture
Served with a simple, fresh broth, these noodles tend to be very well-tolerated.
