Is Sweetgreen Garlic Aioli High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Garlic Aioli

Moderate histamine

This garlic aioli is moderate, mostly from the lemon juice with mayonnaise, paprika, and nutritional yeast.

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.

Histamine Liberator

It's a mayonnaise and avocado oil base with garlic, maple syrup, lemon juice, spices, and nutritional yeast.

Lemon juice — lemon is a classic histamine liberator, and it's the one high item in an otherwise milder mix.
Mayonnaise, paprika, and nutritional yeast — these each sit at a moderate level, which keeps the overall dressing in moderate territory rather than high.

If you want to bring it down, a plain olive oil base skips the lemon and keeps things lighter.
