Is Sweetgreen Charred Jalapeno Ranch High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Charred Jalapeno Ranch

High histamine

Charred Jalapeno Ranch is high in histamine, mainly from the lime juice, white wine vinegar, and yogurt.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

Dairy Histamine Liberator DAO Blocker

It's a creamy dressing with jalapeno, red onion, garlic, avocado oil, lime juice, mayonnaise, maple syrup, white wine vinegar, and yogurt.

Lime juice and yogurt — lime is a classic histamine liberator and the yogurt is high, so either one alone lands this high.
White wine vinegar — it's high and also blocks DAO, the enzyme that clears histamine, with jalapeno and mayonnaise sitting at a moderate level.

The drivers are mixed right in, so a lighter dressing is the better call here.
