Is Sweetgreen Nori Sesame Seasoning High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Nori Sesame Seasoning

High histamine

This seasoning blends sesame, seaweed, and yeast extract, and it runs high in histamine.

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.

It is a savory sprinkle, but two of its ingredients push it high.

Seaweed and nori — seaweed tends to run high in histamine, and both the seaweed and nori in this blend land it firmly in the high range.
Yeast extract — yeast extract is also high, so it adds another driver on top of the seaweed rather than softening things.

The sesame and sugar are milder, but the seaweed and yeast extract set the level, so a plainer topping is the safer route.
