Rice paper wrapper

Low histamine

Made from rice flour and water with minimal processing — one of the plainer wrap options for histamine sensitivity.

Rice paper wrappers are typically made from rice flour, water, and sometimes tapioca — dried without fermentation.

  • Minimal ingredients — most brands contain very little beyond rice flour and salt, which means no fermentation-related histamine concerns in the wrapper itself

  • Fillings are what count — shrimp, fermented sauces, and aged ingredients in the filling are where histamine can climb quickly in a fresh roll

Filling them with fresh vegetables, herbs, and cooked chicken tends to keep the overall dish well-balanced.
