Poppyseed oil
A mild plant oil with no known histamine content, though its high polyunsaturated fat makes freshness important.
Poppyseed oil is cold-pressed from poppy seeds and has no known connection to histamine or histamine release.
-
Polyunsaturated-heavy — like flaxseed or perilla oil, it oxidizes faster than more saturated fats, so rancidity is the main thing to watch for
-
No fermentation involved — standard cold-pressing doesn't introduce bacterial activity, keeping the histamine picture clean
Keeping it in the fridge and using it within a few weeks of opening is a good habit.
