Rice milk

Low histamine

Rice milk is unfermented, made from a low-histamine grain, and is one of the most consistently well-tolerated plant-based milks.

Rice milk is made by blending cooked rice with water — about as simple a process as plant-based milks get, with no fermentation involved.

  • Rice as a base — white or brown rice is not associated with histamine content or histamine-triggering activity, making it one of the calmer foundations for a milk alternative

  • Widely recommended — rice milk often comes up as a go-to option in low-histamine eating plans, partly because of its mild flavour and partly because of its consistently low-risk profile

Plain, unsweetened rice milk with minimal additives is the version most people find easiest to work with.
