Rice bran oil

Low histamine

A mild, stable cooking oil with no known histamine content or triggering properties.

Rice bran oil is extracted from the outer layer of rice grains and is notable for its high smoke point and neutral flavor.

  • Stable under heat — its high smoke point means it holds up well to cooking without breaking down into irritating compounds

  • No fermentation step — standard extraction doesn't involve bacterial activity, so there's no histamine formation pathway to worry about

It's a solid, no-fuss option for everyday cooking when managing histamine.
