Is Taco Bell Avocado Verde Salsa High in Histamine?

Taco Bell Avocado Verde Salsa

High histamine

This salsa is high in histamine from avocado and lime juice concentrate.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

Histamine Liberator

This is a green salsa made with avocado, tomatillo, jalapeno, green chile, cilantro, and lime.

Avocado and lime lead it — both avocado and lime juice concentrate are classic histamine liberators, and together they push this salsa firmly into high territory.
Tomatillo and chile add more — tomatillo, green chile pepper, and the soybean oil sit at moderate, layering on top of the two high liberators; the cilantro and onion are milder by comparison.

Because the avocado and lime are the heart of this salsa, there is no clean way to lower it here.
