Rapeseed oil
A neutral, widely used plant oil with no known histamine content or triggering properties.
Rapeseed oil (also sold as canola oil) is a refined or cold-pressed plant fat with a very clean histamine profile.
-
Highly refined versions — standard refined rapeseed oil has had most trace compounds removed, making it one of the more neutral options available
-
Cold-pressed variety — slightly more flavorful and less processed, but still carries no known histamine concerns
It's a practical everyday cooking oil for people managing histamine.
