Thai red rice
An unfermented whole grain rice variety with no known histamine activity — generally easy to tolerate.
Thai red rice is a whole grain variety colored by natural plant pigments, not by fermentation or any aging process.
-
No histamine involvement — like other plain rice varieties, it doesn't contain histamine, trigger its release, or interfere with how your body processes it
-
Whole grain benefit — the bran layer is intact, which adds fiber and nutrients compared to white rice, without adding histamine risk
Freshly cooked and eaten promptly, it's a straightforward grain to include in a low-histamine diet.
