Histamine Tracker
Spaghetti squash
Spaghetti squash is low in histamine and doesn't trigger histamine release, making it widely tolerated.
Like other winter squashes, spaghetti squash is a naturally low-histamine food with no known triggering properties.
-
Squash family — all varieties of squash, from spaghetti to butternut, tend to sit at the low end of the histamine scale, making them reliable meal staples
-
Freshness is still key — while squash stores well, once cooked it should be eaten fairly promptly; extended storage of cooked food can allow histamine to build up slightly
It's a great pasta substitute that won't add to your histamine load.
