Sweetgreen Organic Spring Mix
This is a base of fresh mixed lettuces, 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 blend of fresh tender lettuces with nothing else mixed in.
-
Fresh leafy greens — spring mix is fresh, unaged lettuce, so it stays at the low end and is an easy base to build on.
-
What goes on top matters most — the greens are fine on their own, so the histamine level of your bowl comes down to the proteins, cheeses, and dressings you add.
Stick to fresh, simple toppings and the bowl stays gentle.
