Are Sweetgreen Hummus High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Hummus

Moderate histamine

This chickpea and tahini hummus is moderate, mainly from the lemon juice.

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 is a simple chickpea, tahini, and garlic spread, and it lands at moderate.

Lemon juice is the high note — lemon is a histamine liberator, so it is the strongest single driver in the blend.
Chickpeas underneath — the chickpea base itself sits at moderate, so even without the lemon this spread stays middle of the road.

A plain tahini drizzle is a lower-histamine way to get that nutty, creamy note.
