Raspberries
Raspberries prompt your body to release its own stored histamine, even though they don't contain much histamine directly.
Raspberries are histamine liberators — they signal your body to release histamine it has stored, rather than adding histamine themselves.
-
Histamine liberation — this means even a small amount can trigger a response in sensitive people, because it's tapping into your body's own reserves
-
Compared to other berries — strawberries work the same way and tend to be stronger liberators; blueberries are generally better tolerated
Smaller portions, eaten fresh rather than as jam or juice, may be easier to manage.
