Is Sweetgreen Organic Arugula High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Organic Arugula

Low histamine

This is a base of fresh arugula, and it is low 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.

This is a simple bed of peppery fresh arugula leaves with nothing else mixed in.

Fresh leafy greens — arugula is a fresh, unaged green, so it stays at the low end and is a friendly base to build a bowl on.
What goes on top matters most — the arugula is fine on its own, so your bowl's level really depends on the proteins, cheeses, and dressings you choose to add.

Stick to fresh, simple toppings and the bowl stays gentle.
