Sweetgreen Warm Portobello Mix

Moderate histamine

Sweetgreen's portobello mix is moderate from the mushrooms and its warm spice blend.

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 portobello and other mushrooms cooked in olive oil with onion powder, garlic powder, and warm spices.

  • Portobello and mushrooms — both sit at a moderate level, so the mushroom base alone puts this in moderate territory.

  • Paprika, cumin, cayenne, and nutritional yeast — these seasonings are each moderate too, layering onto the mushrooms, while the olive oil underneath is milder.

A fresh vegetable topping keeps things lower than the mushroom mix.
