Palm oil
A plain plant-based fat with no known histamine content or histamine-triggering properties.
Palm oil is extracted directly from the fruit pulp and doesn't involve fermentation or aging.
-
Simple extraction — as a pure fat with negligible protein content, there's very little present to generate histamine during processing
-
Similar to palm kernel fat — both come from the same plant but differ in fatty acid profile; both are generally considered low-histamine
Stored properly away from heat and light, palm oil typically remains a safe, neutral choice.
