Histamine Tracker
Spring roll
Dipping sauces, soy sauce fillings, and fermented ingredients can all add to the histamine load of an otherwise simple dish.
The wrapper and vegetables in a spring roll are generally low-histamine, but what's inside and alongside them often tells a different story.
-
Savoury fillings and sauces — soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce are common in spring roll fillings and dips, and all are fermented products with significant histamine content
-
Freshness of ingredients — pre-made or restaurant versions may use ingredients that have been prepped well in advance, giving histamine more time to accumulate in protein-containing fillings
Fresh Vietnamese-style spring rolls with plain dipping sauces tend to be gentler than deep-fried versions with strongly seasoned fillings.
