Sesame oil
A pure plant fat with no known histamine content, though sesame is a common allergen worth noting separately.
Sesame oil itself has no known histamine content or known role in triggering histamine release.
-
Allergen note — sesame is one of the more common food allergens, and an allergic reaction can look similar to histamine intolerance symptoms; these are different mechanisms
-
Toasted vs light — toasted sesame oil has a much stronger flavor due to roasting, but neither version has a known histamine concern
If sesame suits you generally, the oil form is typically the easiest to tolerate.
