Plantain

Plantains don't contain significant histamine and aren't known to block histamine breakdown or prompt your body to release stored histamine.

• Ripeness changes the picture — green or yellow plantains tend to be the most straightforward; very ripe, black-skinned plantains are sweeter but some people with histamine sensitivity find overly ripe fruit less comfortable in general

• Cooking method — boiled or baked plantain is typically gentler than versions cooked with marinades, vinegars, or sauces that may introduce other histamine triggers

Plain cooked plantain, not too ripe, tends to sit well for most people.
