Histamine Tracker
Split peas
Split peas are low in histamine and a generally safe legume choice when freshly prepared.
Dried split peas have no fermentation history, which keeps their histamine content low.
-
Storage tip — cooked split peas left in the fridge for several days may slowly accumulate histamine, so fresher is better
-
Yellow vs green — both yellow and green split peas are considered low histamine; the difference is mostly flavor and color
Freezing leftovers promptly is an easy way to keep them in good shape.
