Histamine Tracker
Rice bran
The outer layer of rice, with no fermentation involved — generally low in histamine on its own.
Rice bran is simply what's removed when brown rice is milled into white rice — no aging or fermentation involved.
-
Minimally processed — because it doesn't go through any histamine-forming process, it tends to sit at the lower end of the histamine scale
-
Freshness matters here — rice bran contains natural oils that can go rancid relatively quickly, and some sensitive individuals report that they do better with fresher bran, so buying smaller quantities is a reasonable approach
Storing it in the fridge can help keep it fresher for longer.
