Oat flour
Plain oat flour has no significant histamine content and no known histamine-triggering properties.
Oat flour is simply ground oats — no fermentation, no aging, nothing that causes histamine to accumulate.
-
Naturally low-risk — oats aren't known to contain histamine or to prompt the body to release its own stored histamine
-
Freshness still applies — like any flour, oat flour stored for a long time or in warm conditions can degrade, though this is a general quality issue rather than a histamine-specific one
Fresh, plain oat flour from a sealed package is typically reliable.
