Pumpkin seed oil
A rich, nutty oil with no known histamine content, typically well tolerated in standard amounts.
Pumpkin seed oil is pressed from roasted or raw seeds and doesn't involve any fermentation in production.
-
Roasting process — some very dark, intensely roasted versions are more strongly flavored, but roasting itself has no known link to histamine formation
-
Distinct from whole seeds — some people find whole seeds harder to tolerate than the oil, since pressing removes most of the protein and fiber
As an occasional drizzle or dressing ingredient, it tends to sit well for most people watching histamine.
