Is Sweetgreen Sesame Crunch High in Histamine?

Sweetgreen Sesame Crunch

Low histamine

This sesame crunch is low in histamine, just sesame seeds with maple and salt.

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 topping is sesame seeds with a touch of maple syrup and sea salt.

Sesame seeds — plain seeds with a light sweetener, none of which are aged, cured, or fermented, so it stays low.
Nothing pulling it up — maple syrup and sea salt are the only extras, so there is no high-histamine component here.

This is a reliable low-histamine way to add crunch to your bowl.
