Is Sweetgreen Green Goddess Ranch High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Green Goddess Ranch

High histamine

Green Goddess Ranch is high in histamine, driven by the yogurt, spinach, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar.

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 blend of mayonnaise, yogurt, herbs, red onion, spinach, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, and hot sauce.

Yogurt, spinach, and lemon juice — the yogurt is high, spinach and lemon are classic liberators, and each pushes this up on its own.
White wine vinegar and hot sauce — the vinegar is high and also blocks DAO, the enzyme that clears histamine, and the hot sauce is high too, with mayonnaise adding a moderate note.

The drivers are blended in, so a simpler dressing on the same menu is the smarter pick.
