Rabbit
Fresh rabbit is a low-histamine protein — it doesn't accumulate histamine the way aged or processed meats do.
Fresh, unprocessed meat naturally contains very little histamine because it hasn't gone through the aging or fermentation that builds it up.
-
Freshness matters — histamine in any meat rises quickly once it's been stored, so fresh or promptly frozen rabbit is the best bet
-
Compared to other proteins — rabbit sits alongside chicken and turkey as one of the gentler options for people watching their histamine intake
Buying fresh from a butcher or freezing shortly after purchase helps keep histamine levels low.
