Quinoa drink
Quinoa drink is an unfermented grain-based milk alternative that tends to be low in histamine and gentle to tolerate.
Quinoa drink is made by processing quinoa with water — no fermentation is involved, which keeps the histamine level low.
-
Quinoa as an ingredient — it's a seed (technically), not a grain, and isn't associated with high histamine content or known to interfere with histamine processing
-
Less common than other alt-milks — because quinoa drink is less mainstream, there's less histamine-specific data on it, but its simple, unfermented nature puts it in a reassuring category
As with other plant-based milks, plainer versions with fewer additives are the most predictable choice.
