Sea buckthorn berries
Sea buckthorn is intensely acidic and widely reported as a trigger by people with histamine sensitivity.
Sea buckthorn berries are one of the more acidic fruits around, and many people with histamine sensitivity report them as a notable trigger.
-
Acidity — the very high acid content is frequently cited as a concern for sensitive individuals, and acidity is a commonly reported factor in histamine intolerance, even if the precise mechanism is not fully established
-
Concentrated products — sea buckthorn is most commonly consumed as juice or oil, which are more concentrated than the whole berry
If you're curious about it, starting with a very small amount of the whole berry rather than juice is a more cautious way to explore.
